How will the purchase cost of $208,000, plus renovation cost, which are unknown,
lost tax revenue from purchasing private property be recouped to pay for the wells when they are needed? Is there another source of revenue the citizens are not aware of as they are not privy to the “secret or closed door meetings” where these issues seem to be decided?

It’s not too difficult now to understand why the library board did not support saving the Historic Cape Charles school !

Just wondering.

Also who is going to pay for the new basketball court? My guess is it won’t be Echelon ! Yes people…let’s just hand our 100 year old historic school to Echelon on a silver platter. I for one would like to know why the town council and mayor refuse to look out for the citizens of the town and are practically working hand in hand with Echelon???
Sure give me the shivers :-(
