The Top Ten Reasons
to Oppose the DNR and Pavilion Partners Pavilion Reuse Project:
10) A noisy banquet
hall will kill the evening tranquility and sunsets at the park;
9) It will add
light pollution to the night sky;
8) Large “window
walls” will kill birds;
7) It sets a
terrible precedent for other State Parks in Indiana;
6) It will allow
alcohol back into a park where it had been banned for 25 years;
5) It will not pay
property taxes into local coffers and provides an unfair business advantage
not available to other local businesses;
4) The project
planning was intentionally hidden from public view;
3) The project
revenues to the IDSP are insignificant and will go to the entire State Park
system with no increases for 35 years;
2) It constitutes
the taking of a public beach for a private commercial business;
And ... drum roll
please;
1) The local
community is overwhelmingly against this project.
Please go to
DunesAction.org on how you can help defeat this terrible, terrible idea.
