that people have to 100 t
the "overall benefit" to the city.
He dded that a marina, which
hires m y people, including
city re . dents, would be better
than lumber yard where very
fe if any city residents are
employed.
The city's Downtown De­
velopment Authority (DDA) ,
Little id, has already
pproved an intention of re­
zoning the city's riverfronts. He
dded that even if the Corps of
Engineers does approve Kinney'
permit, the city could re-zone .
the property, which could call
for the land to be for recreat­
ional, and not commercial, pur­
po.
Kinney was 'amen ble" to
the purcha of the area by the
city a year ago, bu t recently
Kinney ha changed his mind,
said Little. He added that
Kinn pays no "inventory
tax" on the lumber he already
ha ored along the canal.
Little said he h no problem
with Kinney' pre nt lumber
site but doe n't thank inney
should expand.
