This may be true, but it is not common knowledge and no evidence was presented at the meeting to support the statement. No appraisals, no CMAs, no offers or development commitments. “Because I said so” is just not enough to tip the scales for a lot of people, so if there is a next time I hope this will be addressed. “In God we trust. All others must submit evidence.”

You don't need a "CMA" to guesstimate on a property's value. Just look at the real estate in the area. You don't need to be a CMA, with bachelor's degree (any field), two years of professional experience in accounting or finance, and must pass the two-part CMA exam to estimate on what three prominent properties are worth.

I'm not a CMA. I've only got three business degrees including an MBA, and paralegal certification that go back decades.

There was no argument the Crucon "price" was "good".

There were/are opinions in discussions in town on what the former Lion's club is worth. Also, what is the present town hall worth to the Huggins Hospital folks, or any other enterprise already "in the village". What did it offer for the Taylor property across the street from the present town hall on RT.25, thru the center of town, before backing out of the deal, a while back. How much is the Rec. dept. building across the street from The Corner store, a bustling, thriving business?

A lot of us do believe in God ... She is benevolent!

Prove God is not a she!

Don't want to seem agnostic ... my first two years of high school were in a Roman Catholic seminary, studying to be a priest; OMI, fathers. My time in Vietnam, May '67 to Feb. 69' with the 189th Assault Helicopter, (avionics and doorgunner) in UH-1 helicopters tempered/expanded my view of God .
