Do we need a 'Taj Majal?'

April 7, 2014
Wow! The proposed Fab Lab/library/college/extension office will be the Taj Majal (Thanks Ken Ewing!) of Boundary County!

I also like the idea that it will be the tallest building (?) in Bonners Ferry and will simply swallow up and dwarf all the private businesses trying to eke out a living (and pay taxes) on Main Street.

So much for the rooftop signage placed by businesses that tries to encourage drivers/passerby to stop in and visit the various shops and restaurants.

Will these people flock to the new Fab Lab/library and use all of the proposed resources? The poverty level and unemployment is relevant to the issue.

It was stated that the current building is in a sorry state. I’m sure it is. It has seen better days.

May I suggest you look no further than across the street at the old Garden Center building for possible use/purchase?

I would also venture to guess that many people choose to live and raise their children here because of the lifestyle. Not because of a “Taj Majal,"
