The Hospital sale money belongs to all of the people.
A
plan has been put together to build a new $8.1 million recreational
and health facility near Wilmington High School - if Clinton County
Commissioners are willing to pay half the cost with proceeds from the
sale of Clinton Memorial Hospital.
The
YMCA would serve as a tenant and manager in the facility, said Greg
Law, executive director of the Clinton County Community Family YMCA
during a meeting with commissioners Wednesday. About 60 various
community members attended the meeting, held in the county's
juvenile/probate courtroom.
My
opinion:
The
Hospital sale money belongs to all of the people of Clinton County.
This proposition raises some questions.
1.
Do to its location would all, or even most county residents, be able
to take advantage of the facility?
2.
Would the quasi religious nature of the prospective operator be an
obstacle to the process?
3.
Would county wide emergency services be a better use of the money?
4.
Would all county residents have free membership and privileges at the
center?
