Good question, because we asked for their curriculum vitae, and none have been provided.
Stay tuned.
Today's inept St. Augustine Record article by its "development" reporter, Stuart Korfhage, a former sports reporter, is biased, stating that keeping the south end of Lincolnville "green" means "vacant," as if development were superior to public parkland, in an area long treated by the City of St. Augustine as a dumping ground for solid waste and sewage, resulting in fines and consent decrees.
The only thing "vacant" is the brains of the conceptually bankrupt, who don't appreciate the value of open, public parkland -- the south end of Lincolnville is a beautiful spot where two rivers converge, and it must be preserved.
Today's dull Record article does not say "who, what or why" about putting a Children's Museum on a former landfill, a stench in the nostrils of our City.
Today's article does say "where," but does not state that FDEP guidelines forbid such projects on former landfills and for good reason. See below.
Today's article is a delayed and biased account of Monday's City Commission meeting, where misguided supporters of the Children's Museums from gated communities and the Junior League, sought to inflict their undercapitalized project on the Lincolnville community. Lincolnville neighbors and supporters had the best of it, and no logical person would risk children's lives building on a landfill.
There are better places available.
The St. Augustine Aquarium LLC project has dissolved, and is under investigation by the Small Busines Administration Office of Inspector General.
The St. Augustine Aquarium LLC's former partner, the St. Augustine Children's Museum can profit from their example.
Look elsewhere.
You will be glad you did.
The south end of Lincolnville will be preserved as a park in perpetuity through enactment of the St. Augustine National Historical Park and National Seashore.
