Editor,
A few ofmy major economic and social concerns about the Garibaldi at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料 proposal to develop golf courses and resorts are listed below. There are also numerous environmental concerns, details of which can be found at the website at the end of this letter.
Due to Brohm Ridge's rough terrain, ground instability, extremely steep grade, and high precipitation, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build roads (98 km), lifts (25), and other related infrastructure.
The proponent says GAS will pay $300 million just to get started on the project, but who will pay the cost to maintain this infrastructure over time? How much will it cost to replace it in 20 years, or perhaps sooner due to the area's high risk for landslides and flash flooding? How much extra will it cost to mitigate these special circumstances?
The proponent says that GAS will generate $54 million in tax revenue for the district of 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料. Will this be enough to cover these costs?
The GAS proposal does not address how it will get water to the development, or how much the infrastructure to obtain water/sewage systems will cost.
If GAS becomes part of 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料, 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料 taxpayers will likely be paying for the infrastructure costs over time. GAS will likely have massive infrastructure costs.
The GAS proposal boasts that it will create more jobs for 老澳门六合彩开奖记录资料 residents. Most of these jobs (service industry, retail, custodial) are relatively low paying. How will these people afford to live here? Whistler has been struggling with this particular issue for years.

I echo all of the concerns on their website.
