Be happy it is something. FYI the Eastern Shore’s schools arent much better

The ‘big deal’ is the Mobile economy will get a huge boost from the lodging taxes and spending this will bring into the city during a slow March. For a city that can’t manage it’s money and has a sub-standard school system maybe it would help with no funding.

If Dr. David Bronner would of known about this 2007 funding shortage he would of bailed starting the RSA Tower project/Battle House. The City should be ashamed of the mishandling of money or the lack of school system investment.

To be honest, it’s tough to get the high-end labor talent to move into this area unless they send their kids to private schools or move to the Eastern Shore.

That’s our biggest challenge bringing outside investment. Notice the AAFL is here for only training. A seasonal visit-They don’t want to raise their families here.
