I am very supportive of the Marina idea. Our little piece of the Mississippi has been underutilized since the grain mills stopped operating. A Marina puts income on the River and I believe will make the housing developments the city placed along the river even more attractive and valuable.
Stillwater and Hudson seem to have profited nicely from having a Marina along the St. Croix. The summer brings a great number of leisure activities that correspond with the whole boating scene. Why not Minneapolis? It's just one more way to keep us the funnest city. Go Irwin!!!
