Yard Waste Site Part 2 - the second shoe to drop
This is a follow-up post to the previous post "What a Waste of a Yard Waste Site" found elsewhere on this blogsite. As if the original loss of a great yard waste site wasn't enough, now this news comes out. It turns out that even with a left-hand thread, the screw job that the Village got under the "leadership" of (then) President Chris Voll, Village Administrator Richard Downey, and particularly Community Development Director Randy Fifrick, was much worse than we knew. It appears that after Kronenwetter's staff-promoted, ill-advised sale of the 29 acre yard waste site property to the neighboring granite pit owner Mitch King for something like $275,000, King has gone ahead to somehow combine it with his 19 acre, somewhat mined-out granite pit and sold the two parcels together for a cool $3.5 million , the way I understand it as posted at the county website.
