Back to the 20th Century
Where is the imagination in the Mayor's latest brainwave - let's setup a committee and see if they can sell the Kraft site!! The idea of beating the bushes is so 1990's. Not only does it admit that we have a second rate Economic Development department, if it was so good we would have had a buyer lined up already, but it shows that nobody in government is willing to think laterally, or "out of the box" to use that cliche.
One idea that is very good appeared in the comments this week. A person called gh (I know who you are but won't tell) suggests that part of the site be used for community purposes.
To ask a "blue ribbon committee" to beat the bushes is akin to the new car, insurance, furniture salesperson being told to sit down and make up a list of family contacts for selling purposes. This may be a good idea but if this the best the Mayor can do it just shows a lack of imagination.
We need imagination to convert this site and I hope that there are more ideas than just selling it for another industrial site.
