The following link, "The Defeat of SN Bill 306" addresses an alternative plan for the boiler site in Berlin.
IMO and as a non-resident of Berlin, I thought this plan may have had the most potential of all the alternate plans I am so far aware of, to the Berlin/LLEG project.
Apparently some in opposition to the Berlin/LLEG project were counting on a combination of casino gambling coupled with tourism attractions, high tech mfg. and also a type of residential use area such as a park/bike/ATV facility and foot path etc.
However in spite of the Berlin City Council support for Senate Bill 306 by a vote of 8-1 early this year, the bill suffered defeat. After reading the following link as well as the comments and reply’s button (identified with the cartoon character word balloon) I feel more confident than ever the Berlin/LLEG project to revitalize Berlin is still on the front burner also IMO, makes the most sense for the situation. Please check out the site, revisit the Berlin Home page site and go through all the links including planning board and city council minutes and agendas. I have some other links if anyone is interested (pretty dry reading). I am interested to learn if there are any other viable plans out there and if anyone finds any drop me a PM.
Inclosing, when you read the link you will see referenced something called “The Sands Bethworks project.” Just as a foot note, this refers to the town I live in and only 2 miles from the site. The article at the link I supply contains IMO, inaccuracies about that project's current effect on our towns. Although it has nothing to do with Berlin it is used as an illustration or example and as such anyone interested in the inaccuracies can PM me. I honestly don’t want to see Berlin find itself in the situation we in Bethlehem, Easton and Allentown (yes the same as Billy Joel’s song “Living here in Allentown!), now find ourselves. Many here in the Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown area would have been very grateful to have had the opportunity or alternative, LLEG is offering Berlin.
JMO, and I'll check back hopefully today,
Thanks,
Nez
