Of course if they just take them down the next post will be, look what else the Morse family took away from us, I can see the end of Brownwood coming…

$225,000 is not much in this day and age and things need to be maintained or replaced as needed.

I worked on the Big Dig in Boston.

I love when a poster emerges from a long, almost 8 year sleep to tow the developers line.

Is it not wrong they built an inferior tower and now that it has to be replaced the builder has no responsibility?

Actually your county government sends back your tax dollars every year to pay for the entertainment

If they did not use the proper wood at the beginning and I certainly believe that the county and the township permitting departments should be sued as well as the original contractors engineers and architects as it was the most foolish thing not to use pressure treated and insect treated woods . Has citizens you are paying good money to the township and counties to watch over the permitting and building of amenities and structures. If they are not doing their jobs then the township should end up being sued and paid for replacing these or does anyone else have any common Sense ideas and how to get things done here. I certainly wouldn't trust the builders with my home without getting something inspected by the county and townships building departments.

Do we really need a windmill and a water tower to define Brownwood or just a nice sign which would cost maybe $5 or $10,000? Who really decides these things and why are they spending our money or your money when we have inflation and so many other things to concern ourselves with? Maybe what we really need is a bronze medal windmill and water tower that will not depreciate what deprecate or rust or have termites and maybe we should spend a million dollars instead on a monument to this stupidity of not using termite treated wood? Maybe we should have the original architect engineer and builders pay for a new one instead because they saved 5 or $10,000 years ago and not use the correct proper materials?

If I go to Brownwood and use its facilities and retailers, does it matter whether I live in The villages to you if I can comment on this? Whether I lived here 6 months or 20 years my concerns are just as valid as yours or someone else's. But I will say it's really really really really stupid and someone's part not to have built it out of the correct materials and it's really really stupid not to have the county and township building departments check on these things in advance. And it's really really stupid not to hold people accountable for failures like this or it would cost money to sue to get the money back or not. Because if you don't hold people accountable it will happen time and time again. Just look at the fact that they tear down 20-year-old buildings because there's no maintenance or that they use substandard material and labor and of course you millions of dollars to redo country club buildings that are sold to the community after being depreciated
