Thank You, Sheffield!

In case you missed it, Sheffield has a new sign. The sign proclaiming the coming of Inspiration Landing is noteworthy for several reasons. Looking at the names on the sign that are linked to the IL project, we do wonder just who paid for this little bit of advertising. 

Was it Colbert County?
Was it Capital Improvement Cooperative District?
Was it NACOLG?
Was it Sheffield Redevelopment Authority?
Was it Sheffield Utilities?
Was it TVA?
Was it John Elkington?

Still, the names listed as "brought to you by" are not the most interesting data on the sign. The name of the realty handling the leasing of shops in the retail sector is what immediately caught our eye. It's a Florence firm.

We in Florence thank the City of Sheffield for filling the tax coffers of our city, especially after Colbert County so doggedly attempted to block the new hospital. Yet we wonder why Sheffield didn't choose a firm within its own boundaries? Isn't there one? Surely there's one at least in Colbert County?

Want to know what's really wrong in Sheffield and how to fix it? The Midnight Rider has promised to reveal all in the new year!
