I know very little about this proposal beyond what I've read here and in a previous news article, but that said, and given the island fathers past interest (or lack there-of?) in preserving and maintaining the environmental beauty and soundness of the island, I can't help but feel a little skeptical. The Blue Mall was such a great idea, wasn't it?!

Don't take me wrong, I think it's great that it will provide all those construction and post-construction jobs, but I can't help but worry about so many of my island friends whose jobs and businesses may suffer or be lost because of this development. I sincerely hope my misgivings are ill founded but given past history...........?
