A boat load of ideas...

Some things are just not worthy of a comment but here I go anyway...Mitch, do you have any idea who is going to pay the millions of dollars to do all this or do you just think the money is going to fall off some trees in Victoria Park?? Wouldn't it be cheaper to build a big boat and load it up with all the complainers and move them over to St. Peters Island saving us taxpayer's some money...
Tweel wants industrial firms moved to city's outskirts
BY DAVE STEWART
The Guardian
Charlottetown Ward 4 Coun. Mitchell Tweel says he wants the city to convince industrial companies to move to the outskirts of the capital. Tweel says residential areas are no places for propane tank farms (such as the one on Allen Street, which Tweel calls "poor planning') or auto body shops."One of the challenges we have to face is non-conforming uses, particularly in residential areas,' Tweel said. "We need a plan to relocate industrial uses out of communities and into industrial parks.' Tweel said he recently made a presentation to the planning and economic development committees and would like to see the city create an incentive program in which businesses would benefit from locating outside residential areas, similar to existing incentive programs in the city for programs like heritage and downtown revitalization. "I think it's time to start putting a plan together. We have programs to redevelop and revitalize the downtown but redevelopment and revitalization don't just take place in the downtown.' Tweel says the co-operation of the provincial government is also essential. "People are getting tired of (having industrial companies in residential areas). We've got to start seeing some progress.'

Or could it be an opportunity for a budding young entrepreneur with surplus scrub land 'in waiting' out by th e new Sears outlet?

Maybe the City would buy this land (at a hefty profit margin)from this young, budding entrepreneur to help facilitate Councillor Tweel's plans...

Think of the possiblities before criticizing the verbose espousings of mumble jumble Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum. It could help some whipper snapper developer seeking quick, easy cash!
