This is what makes me nervous about the Marina District:
A Commenter:
Can't we all agree that this Marina Disaster episode is all about making someone some money at the cost of public trust and loss of confidence in the city government? Who on the city commission (present or past commissioners) may know the identity of the land grabbing MD business associates behind the curtain who have yet to be exposed as the silent investors and members of the secret LLC? Could there be some additional conflicts of interest that have not yet come to light? How will we ever know if the city commission is not held accountable for any of their past misdeeds especially after abusing the city charter by circumventing the voter referendum petitions?
I don't know enough about the marina district - from the city you can only see what they give you. And we're all free to look at the propoganda right here. I don't know if I'm able to research it any more because all the information they want to give you, they've already given you. In reference to the above conflicts, I fear a certain [former] commissioner on this issue. I worried about it when he ran for office and I worry about it even after he's left. We'll never know what goes on behind the curtain and that's what bothers me the most.

Why not put it:
in the eyesore area next door to the Chesapeake Lofts...
...or...
down by Dutch Lane...
no one even goes down to the Pavillion anymore anyway...the old & rich 7 crazy people at the Yact Club & Bayshore Towers scared away any normal concerts because it was "too loud" for them. It was summer! it's supposed to be Vacationland, not an old folks resort town!
Once again, this was fought in the court system by Jack Sprowl and he won. Sandusky can NOT sell the property to a private sector because the area was filled in, thus the property is now once Sandusky Bay, owned BY THE STATE and not the City. Jack took this to court when they wanted to move the city building and sell the existing one and the courts said NO.
To anonymous on Feb 2. You are so wrong, the pavilion was used by over 14,000 people just last year and has grown each and every year. It is the citys fault for not opening it up year round and attracting more people. They have used the fact it is closed for their false economic claims so they can sell it for private development. You really need to do your homework on this site before makeing statements that it is never used. That one site was used by more people last year then all the other parks combined.
The pavilion is under used. It's a great asset, but the city needs to use a little creativity for putting it to good use. Selling it is probably one of the dumbest things they could do.
