No Work on Ag Center or IL until Vaccine is in Wide Use?




While this is Alabama where we like to live dangerously, just how many sane and rational individuals do you think will want to gather in a group of two to eight thousand people? How does this bode for Sheffield's Inspiration Landing or Lauderdale County's Ag Center?

Okay, at this point no one really thinks IL has much of a chance. Probably not even the luxury home sales side of the project once the real estate slump hits...and it will hit. Yet the Ag Center seemed a done deal until the pandemic.

Like Legionnaire's Disease through a hotel ventilation system, how quickly do you think a super bug could permeate an enclosed arena? Remember, we're not talking Alabama or Auburn football games here; we're talking second tier music groups at best...and 4-H shows that over 50 grandparents won't even come out for now.

Vaccine? Even if one is developed in three months (which we highly doubt), it will first go to medical personnel, then public safety employees. Will enough people take it to create herd immunity? 

Sorry, folks, a lot of tax dollars just flew out the window.
