Editor,
From the Tampa Bay Times of Florida, Feb. 23, 2018: “Long awaited Clearwater Beach Garage bleeds money in its first year. Data shows the city is in the red last year, spending $107,000 more than they brought in, bringing into question the decision to build the garage.
“Consultants the city hired in 2014 to analyze the investment predicted the garage would bring $800,000 in profits the first year. But in its first 12 months of operation, the garage has bled money instead.”
If the decision to build a parking garage in “affluent” Clearwater Beach Florida, is now in question, rest assured that it could very well happen in “less affluent” downtown Biddeford – and if it did, who would be on the hook for a similar situation, (unfunded liability), if not the Biddeford taxpayers?
