New Marine Patrol Headquarters

Wreckn1 · 08-02-2014, 09:52 PM

Current HQ are failing. This project has been in the works for the past 3yrs +. Money has been allocated as well as federal grants I'm sure. Commercial buildings have a different set of specs for building than residential. And yes everything is now figured out with life expectancy. The 7.8 million is a budget. My guess is bids will come in lower, then generally do all depends on materials being used etc. and yes the budget is for all work, which includes demo and removal of the existing HQ. All things have a life expectancy, look at all the roads and bridges that were built no more than 50 yrs ago. Everything has a timeline. There will always be people that don't agree with spending money for something that has outlived its useful life. Renovating the current building is not an option due to the type of construction that is there (prestressed concrete panels and block) believe me when I say they need a new building.

Wreckn1, I was just browsing through the forum and noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum after joining back in July 2008. We are glad that you have come aboard and joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Thanks for joining on the thread and hope to see your name (Wreckn1) on more of the forum threads in the future.

Hey, web, in that picture at the top of this thread, I was trying to imagine what part of the lake the pic is showing. The island arrangements don't look right. My best guess is it's from above Center Harbor, looking south. That's the only thing that makes any sense in the foreground. Perhaps the screwy placements of the islands further out is from camera distortion. Any other thoughts?

7.8M is a big number, but a drop in the bucket if compared to amount of $$ this country gives away.
It sounds a little like 'Live free or Die' has has evolved into 'pay for it so stick around awhile'

the gov. from the other 49 states is leaking in.

I would like to look at it as if 'they' are going to spend this much on a building to help police the lake, how much are they going to invest to preserve the lake.

Yes, Center Harbor looking south-east down the Broads. Black Cat, Three Mile and the Beavers are visible left to right, with Bear further down through the Three Mile-Beaver passage.

Talk about out of control spending.. they can not even man the boats they have now! This is all to make our precious time on the lake more enjoyable
