“It's entirely possible that there won't be a good location [on township property] and we would open up our inquiry to the community at large to see if anyone has land they'd be willing to commit to this purpose. Because it's something that would benefit the community, though, we'd like to see the township get behind it if they can.”
Ginger Lowe
“The property owners want some service they typically can't get with the township. ... Wisconsin is one of the few states that have town government. They have disappeared in most states or never existed in the first place. Town officials aren't comfortable hearing that.”
Dan Thompson
“The township doesn't want to give up any more property or there won't be much township left.”
Bill Giles
“We knew that the property was too valuable for the township to buy and that the property owner does have development rights that have to be respected. So the question became what we can do at that property that is the least objectionable.”
Steve Santarsiero
“I think that [the opening] means a lot to the township and a lot to SAC (Save Ardmore Coalition). That has been expressed to us from both sides of the aisle. We feel very fortunate to be in that position because nobody else really has.”
Jamie Lokoff
“When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive. An old farmer spoke up and said if they stopped building the schools they would not save anything, because every time a school was closed a jail had to be built.”
Mark Twain
“That lane would benefit the developer and the township in the long run.”
