I agree with one thing. Ideas can be worth millions. Just ask inventor of velcro, or the people who opened up shops in dockyard prior to the cruise ships being there.

Surely you do this type of “legacy/sustainability” consolation BEFORE spending on the project?

What are the terms of reference for our Cross Island committee?

Why are there no committee members from BOIS, Greenrock, BEST, National Trust, BUEI or other leading environmental groups?

This has all the makings of more false options by WEDCo- a public relations ploy with highly paid communications staff and a lack of any independent committee members.

If this new nine acres is for the benefit of our community do this with our community – stop doing it for us or to us.

I can understand why that could be a concern for you. I think from their point of view, they need to own the idea if they’re going to eventually put out an RFP for a developer to build it. If you still owned it, their hands would be tied.

I think if your idea is your business, and you want to do it yourself, then maybe this isn’t the right place for you to suggest it. Perhaps it’s better for you to try to buy land and do it yourself?

At $4,333,333/acre so far, something to make some big bucks is a must, maybe a tax haven for billionaires, or a landing pad for Elon Musks’ next Space X landing?

The only thing I don’t like about the submission request is that your ideas belong to them once you’ve submitted; the only reason I’m not submitting.
