Remember the mayor is a Dartmouth graduate. I think he graduated with a BA in Small Town economics and his thesis was how to build a Utopia in rural New Hampshire. Berlin is his experiment. Of course Casinos and prisons don't seem too Utopian to me nor big tourist atractions. I think the Mayor and city council should have tried it out on SIM Earth first. Just imagine Berlin after Laidlaw is complete. Self supporting community with its own Powerplant. Wow I think I would move there and build a business on mainstreet.
LOL ... I figured you or one of our other steadfast investors would provide answers. I was hoping some of the locals could provide answers or at least ask the questions at the next town meeting to find out.
BTW ... As far as I'm concerned those were rhetorical questions... ;-)
