“Duluth was approached, but they needed to put it out for bids, and we had a concept, a plan, a team; all that was needed was a place to lay it all out. Proctor has been amazing to work with. They are ready for good things to happen and are willing to roll up their sleeves and help instead of placing roadblocks and barriers that naturally happen in a larger city. This is why it is so difficult for developers to come into our area. This will be good for the entire region. Everyone wins!”
We hear this all of the time from builders and developers. Here is a fine example of the roadblock that was removed. Public land that was given away. Who is “everyone” that is winning?
Now we know why they didn’t build in Duluth.
I can hardly wait to see what “ roadblocks” will be removed for Lester. Will the taxpayers get to pay for the infrastructure? Laughing, all the way to the bank
Exactly. “Amazing” is not the word I would use to describe taking $850,000 of taxpayer money and putting it in the pocket of a “developer.”
I love how legitimate business expenses are considered “roadblocks”. This sounds like a very reasonable and necessary law. It holds businesses and municipalities accountable.
