Closing of the Agri-Park

The following thread is posted in response to a readers request. The requester included their name with their request but did not specifically ask that their name be included so I have left it out of the thread, they can post it on any comment they may make.

Mr. Barrett could you post a thread about the closing of the Agri Park for the Winter. It seems that it was closed without any warning. Several functions including Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts meeting, the flea market and other private parties had to be cancelled. The reason given is that it is losing money. I may be under the wrong impression, but I didn't know that the Park was a profit center for the County. Maybe I'm wrong. It seems that if we want to save money, we could privatize the ambulance service where we lose a million dollars a year. Thank you for for your service to the community.
