Sheffield Master Plan Discussion Omits Inspiration Landing

 

The last time Sheffield's master plan was updated was 1979. For the math impaired, that means it's been 44 years since any serious thought was put into Sheffield's future, save for the regular get rich quick schemes that seem to come that town's way with great regularity.

Cutting to the chase, John Elkington didn't put in an appearance in the recent planning session, nor was Inspiration Landing mentioned. Mayor Steve Stanley did remark that many of the town's problems lie in past bad decisions. Really? What person or entity among us can't say the same?

One suggestion: Now is the time to face the reality of Elkington's white elephant. That horse will never talk, and putting off the inevitable only makes city leaders look that much weaker and innocent of any clothing.
