Could Sheffield Go Bankrupt?

We had a reader ask us if Inspiration Landing could, should it fizzle, bankrupt the town? According to banking websites, cities go bankrupt over lawsuits and catastrophes. We're thinking Inspiration Landing could fall into the latter category.

What would that mean for the inhabitants? Reduced services in most areas with police and fire protection being the possible exceptions. Or...

Some smaller towns elect to unincorporate. We can see the area north of the railroad tracks joining Muscle Shoals, while the parcel to the south will become part of Tuscumbia. 

So if you like living in Sheffield, you'd better hope Inspiration Landing is a win-win!
