How has Hanover been so successful without a visitors center?

And let’s not forget this important FACT.

Caroline has no utilities, schools, or for that matter functional government.

The Meadow development is only made possible by the the limited use of Hanover County’s utilities.

And speaking of utilities Hanover is getting 3 New motels next to the 7/11 at Kings Dominion. So much for spurring economic development in Caroline……………..

I personally think that is wonderful and hope Caroline never gets enough sense to know how to develop.

Hint BOS and County Government: Business needs water, sewer, high speed internet access, etc. in order to locate in Caroline. Oh yeah, reliable and adequate public safety.

Hmmm, what a concept huh? “Build it and they will come” as our new BOS wife likes to say. If the infrastructure and government competence is there the businesses will not need to be “conned”/ “Visitors Center into coming to a location. They will fight each other at the chance to get there. But what do I know?

But when you have con artists running the government, what do they know about professionalism………..It’s like a foreign language to them.

“I-95 is like a river with money rolling through it,” he said. “We need to be able to dip into that river and bring that money into the county. We’ve never had an opportunity to do that before.”

Isn’t the county getting tax money from every gallon of fuel pumped at the truck stops?

Along with food, gifts, repairs, etc?

Sounds to me like the visitors center is a way to throw hard earned taxpayers money into the “I95 river.”

I know it’s an investment in the future of Caroline………………

Maybe they can find a way for these same businesses they are promoting to finance the cost of the Visitors Center and pay the citizens back, since these same businesses will be reaping most of the so called benefit.

How many millions is the State Fair already costing Taxpayers of the county and state, with that number rapidly growing? How long will it take for the county and state to even break even?

You nailed the title on this post Timothy!!!!!!!!!!!
