^ I guess that's good news...

While it's good to see a company establishing significant operations in Erie (and that it is the result of a local company's presence) and helping to rebuild a depressing tax base, returning this PRIME lakefront land to industrial use just doesn't feel right to me.

Neither of the companies operating there need to be on the waterfront. And it seems that there is just a much, much better use for this land. Keeping it industrial will serve to keep the surrounding east lakefront less attractive and depressed. The views of the lake and Presque Isle from this site are just about the best in Erie -- a big opportunity was missed here... in terms of the use for this land, and for the missed opportunity to help revitalize the surrounding neighborhood.
