This is an opportunity for all issues involving the Port to be discussed with the hope that the Commission is interested in listening. This blog can be an important part of this discussion. I would like to see topics such as the strategic planning that is in the works, the airport’s future, ideas for development of the area formerly known as the East Industrial Park, ideas for economic development and job creation, ideas for development of the waterfront, etc.
What other topics come to mind? Let’s keep Jack busy.
Good suggestions Richard. We would all enjoy an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussion on these issues on this blog, rather than some alternative source. I will continue to encourage community members to participate in this dialogue using this forum as a primary source of information. We’ll post more topics on the blog and watch for more interaction.
Thank you, Jack. This blog suffers from a lack of participants. However, you have operated it in a very fair and open way. This is in sharp contrast to the other local blog that might be used to discuss issues about the Port, where comments not to the liking of the “moderator” are delayed, edited or not allowed on at all. Let’s get some discussion topics started that will draw some interest and then work to get anyone interested to check it out. You will need to follow it closely if you monitor each comment before it is printed. Too much delay kills the flow of the discussion.
