Opinion

On the recent Enterprise Pilot article on "Firemen's Field or Nothing," I never read or heard the word "feasibility." "Hello!" This is a business that must support itself and not add to someone's résumé. However, issues seem to be about location, traffic, flood plain, free land, environmental impact and so forth and so on.

Stop arguing with each other and find out if this thing can "fly!" If a feasibility study is negative, it ends there. If it's positive, take it to the next level and decide where it should be built.

"Free land" from the Township should not be the determining criteria. The land I've suggested, which is west of TR Park, is state-owned and, if asked for, the state probably would gladly hand it over instead of putting up another boathouse. TR was the Governor of NY, you know. That should take care of the "free land" issue.

As for the flood plain issue, if oil companies can build a city out in the middle of the ocean, what's the problem?

My point is plain and simple. Do a feasibility study, first. Without one, only creates more animosity among us or spell disaster to the project.
