Are there any reports about the economic impact of the GRSF on Winona? I believe that the impact could be quite significant, drawing more and more people into the city for these events, boosting all sorts of business.

I also believe that the Wilkie should be a wonderful asset to the city. Too often, I've been showing visitors around our city and struggled to explain why the Wilkie wasn't open, when it likely would be, and it's purpose. As difficult to explain is all of the HBO satellite dishes sticking out like an eyesore in prime real estate. And the weeds. At least, even in its current state of disrepair, the Wilkie makes sense and is attractive.

You know, for the life of me, I dont understand what the issue is here. Our city leaders obviously have no problem spending $500,000 to determine the feasability of a theater for GRSF( a financial LOSER for the city and certainly for its taxpayers). Spending $200,000 to fix something we already own and we already paid for and, properly managed and maintained is an asset to the community should be a no brainer. It is ridiculous the amount of public dollars we throw at the GRSF, in my opinion a travesty of taxpayers hard earned money. To ignore the Wilkie over what is essentially peanuts when compared to GRSF expenditures is an insult to this taxpayer.
