Proving once again that the Town has no limits on spending, the expansion has begun on yet another distant parking spot at the trail head to the lake trail. In addition, there is a major construction project taking place at Bond Park, where they intend to put a kiosk for assisting visitors that aren’t able to park in the new CVB parking lot. Guess that will be all used up by folks who park there and take the bus into the National Park.
One can only think they are saying “no worries” to being an estimated $500K over budget on the CVB, with staff expenses at $200K over budget annually. What the hey, it’s only money and they have plenty of it.
How ironic that the kiosk is in the spot first used as the Chamber’s visitor center when they were given a donation by E.M.A. Foote to provide services to the visitors. It was the Town that moved them out, then they tore that building down for the new CVB, then they go back to the heart of the matter and do it all over again. Money, money, money; it must grow on trees around here, but the Town cuts those down too.
