I enjoy the entertainment and wonder what will happen at build out.....I would really miss it.
The support from the county as explained by the county administrator is because residents of the county benefit from the entertainment. Plus people come from outside the county which in the long run benefits all residents.
That is how the county has choosen to spend some of their tourist budget.
Could it stop, I suppose it could.
