Becky Samuelson Port Quotations

Bobby made a valiant effort and he was a really good guy and we supported him, sometimes even financially when he needed it. We were a big cheerleader of his and he just had a hard time making a go of it. Part of it is when the town heads into the winter time, business just dries up.

What we'd like to ask you to at least consider is a public-private partnership where LANCO puts up the capital to run it $100,000 to $150,000 in the short run. We'd use our manpower to manage and operate the facility and the Port would give us the land in the short run.

The Port has the land and we hope the commissioners will see some value, at least in the short run, to the community. The public-private partnership is pretty aggressive and pretty progressive and we're looking at it as truly a partnership with the Port.
