Do we need a 'Taj Majal?' |

Wow! The proposed Fab
Lab/library/college/extension office will be the
Taj Majal (Thanks Ken Ewing!) of Boundary
County! I also like the idea that it will be the tallest building (?) in Bonners Ferry and will simply swallow up and dwarf all the private businesses trying to eke out a living (and pay taxes) on Main Street. So much for the rooftop signage placed by businesses that tries to encourage drivers/passerby to stop in and visit the various shops and restaurants. Will these people flock to the new Fab Lab/library and use all of the proposed resources? The poverty level and unemployment is relevant to the issue. It was stated that the current building is in a sorry state. I’m sure it is. It has seen better days. May I suggest you look no further than across the street at the old Garden Center building for possible use/purchase? I would also venture to guess that many people choose to live and raise their children here because of the lifestyle. Not because of a “Taj Majal," |
