Here are quotes from the city's statement on Pointe Blue:
"It is not feasible to leave the project in limbo for an indefinite period."
-Mayor Gary Becker
"The work that (Scott) Fergus has done on this project to date has so many good elements that we will continue to work with Key Bridge."
-Becker
"We are reopening. All the facilities are still in place at the marina. We are renting slips for the 2008 boating season."
-William Pugh, president of W.H. Pugh Coal Company. Pugh closed his business in fall 2007 when construction of Pointe Blue looked imminent.
"I believe we will eventually have residential development on the site. But for now we need to decide how to manage the city-owned property in the interim and when and how to redevelop it in the future."
-Brian O'Connell, director of city development for the city
what kind of losses did the Pugh's see waiting and now having to reopen after its too late in the season...
