Each party “agreed to commit $10,000 should any additional costs be needed,” said Smith. “Should there be more than $20,000 additional costs, then all parties involved will meet and work out another agree- ment.” Although council’s vote in favor of paying for the environmental study was unanimous, at least one citi- zen, Susan Wheeler, spoke adamantly against it. “This company is only promising to hire 16 employees by year five.

I don’t know why you’re working so hard on this.” Country Comedy Tour In Wheeler’s opinion, the town’s money for this kind of investment should have been reserved for a company that would offer far more jobs for the community.
