it seems to me that since these TBID funds are generated by out-of-town tourist fees, the TBID feels able to frivolously and without much serious thought, spend these dollars because the are "just sitting there waiting to be spent". like it's FREE money.
In my opinion, none of the fore-mentioned projects will draw many attendees. There certainly is NO RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
I believe these vast sums (a $500,00 treasure chest) could be more wisely spent.
Use these funds to buy new lighting, new IT software for the sink-hole of Luckie Park. the town spends millions of dollars on this one place with little or no Return on Investment. This TBID money would be far better spent if it were given to the General Fund.
