Shady Developer Wants to Revive Morbund Sebastian Inland Harbor Project

This project would create unneeded condos in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Florida already has one half million unoccupied condos. Enough!

It should be redesigned as a public-private partnership, to include the National Civil Rights Museum, a National Park Service Visitor Center, a parking garage, battery-powered trolleys to take tourists around St. Augustine, with shops, outdoor cafes, and a working waterfront with shrimp boats selling fresh seafood (like Tarpon Springs) and a place for artists and entertainers to perform and entertain (like Mallory Square in Key West, and St. George Street before it was ruined by unjust laws violating the First Amendment.

Enough crappy condos like the ones that were almost inflicted on one of our City's gateways. Former UN Ambassador Andrew Young needs to contact Wells Fargo and ask them to donate the land to the National Civil Rights Museum and the National Park Service.
