I believe it should be made part of the state park system. Add trails and camping sites

Very nice idea but that also costs money annually to maintain and protect and no property tax income

Yeah, but it's the GUB-MINT's money, so why worry!

As a former Commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development, and in charge of the Pease Tradeport Development, George Bald has some good credentials. No commercial enterprise wants to deal with asbestos and lead clean up, or whatever else might be there. You can't just bulldoze everything and call it a park. Nobody wants their kids or dogs playing on that sort of ground. You can develop it commercially, and perhaps find an area that is not contaminated, for a (nine-hole?) golf course. Tennis, anyone?

This property has acres of sweeping lawn on a hillside location with views. Nearly 1000 ' of sandy beach and sweeping rocky cliffs. Hiking and biking trails.
One of the most beautiful properties in the lakes region.
The highest and best use would be a resort complex .......Lets get Rusty in there.

Absolutely agree and maybe part can be carved out for a public park and trials providing the best of both worlds.
