Should Allentown Lease Golf Course?

Residents oppose leasing Allentown's golf course

"Some Allentown residents are angry about the possibility of the city’s golf course being leased. They sounded off at Wednesday night’s City Council meeting (10/21/2015)."

My Comments About The Article AboveWe must keep in mind this parcel will revert back to the Trexler Trust before it can be developed if the city would attempt to do so via the deed agreement. So that's out of the question.

As to the matter of the city leasing it out... Anyone interested in leasing it from the city would have to increase rates even if they didn't intend to make a profit. So what's so hard to understand?

Keep it simple. (1) Either the city increases fees to avoid deficits OR (2) If people won't turn out after the increase let the Trexler Trust have it back. Leave it up to the market. It's not that complicated. Either future golfers have a interest or they do not.

Common sense dictates no one's going to give the city a pile of money for something that's costing the city money w/o some sort of hook.

Who's kidding who!
