1. Conn Brown Harbor has so much potential to be a wonderful tourist attraction not to mention beautiful spot for locals to hang out. Think Key West/Rockport.

   Art galleries, locally owned shops, yoga, bistros, bar and grill over looking the water.. seems such a waste of beautiful space as it is now.

   Reconstruct the old Causeway. Place a swing bridge over the intercoastal waterway. The Island would be a great place for vistors cottages or RVs. There is a large pot hole behind Ransome Island that might be developed as a marina. It might be possible to connect Ransom Island to Dagger Island. This could be a good project for the San Pat Navigation District.

3. Drawing in new buiness

   I see that Portland is allowing a Denny's to be built. That one establishment will do wonders. Why didn't our Chamber of Commerce do something like that. Sure, the Bakery is good, but we could use...

   Thousands of tourists drive through AP bee lining past us because all they see is the most run down view of our city. (Pre-Harvey, but yes, worse now). During the week many of these folks are owners and representatives of companies and corporations that may be interested in investing in our community if they took home a favorable impression. Wheeler is our “Broadway” and what people see represents ALL of AP. I believe money invested by the community to cleanup (as easy as cutting down dead trees or inviting artists to paint murals on boarded up businesses) to helping businesses afford to tear down dilapidated structures would be a facelift to what to some has the appearance of a ghost town. Who wants to invest in ghost towns? A few dollars more from every tourist passing by now can support more families in AP. More thriving businesses helps support the hospital, emergency services, and everyone here. Develop AP as a destination not a thoroughfare. Wheeler first - then Conn Brown!
