A Letter to Steve Stanley

 

To Mayor Stanley:

Of the three new Shoals mayors, you're our favorite. We do admit that's simply because you haven't yet acted like a horse's patoot as have the other two.

We believe you could endear yourself to the citizens of Sheffield even more if you offered at least a monthly communication on the status of Inspiration Landing. By our calculations:

1. 2021 marks the seventh year the IL project has been extant. Is there any set timeline at all at this point?

2. Sheffield has now been paying interest on a five million dollar USDA loan for two years. How is the town being affected by this loss of revenue?

3. Assuming the worst happens, does the city have any alternate plans to finance these loan repayments?

4. Even though no work has been done on Stage I as promised, Stage II was at least started. How is that going? Progress update?

Thank you for your attention to this,
