Reply to "Veterans Park Tennis Complex"

 

Don't we already have boat sales, bass tournaments, restaurants, motels, on and on?  Obviously Bass Pro doesn't see the same financial bonanza that you do. - Crusty.

If BassPro / Sweetwater didn't see financial opportunity in Florence, why did they want Veterans Park?  Why did BP and / or their reps approach Florence with an offer?  Remember, it was Florence, not BassPro, that did not want it to happen.  It was Florence's call all the way.

Far as tournaments, etc., you tell me what's the right number. If Florence can't use more employment, that's a wonderful thing.  On the other hand, I can understand why Florence did not want to donate Veterans Park to them.

Leeds' BPS was going to happen regardless of what happened in Florence, then Decatur, then not at all.  I was just comparing it to a location on the Tennessee River.  Call it local prejudice / pride if you will.  Mea culpa.

I'm sure Lake Purdy is a nice place.  OK.  Moving on . . .

Something you may did not find in the tourist brochures regarding the financial bonanza being reaped by the citizens of Leeds.
