They have no interest in selling it to the community. Also it is in a very public place, if the hall had to be rebuilt there---and the hall will not live forever, it is over 70 years old--- it would be a much worse place, you couldn't make a sound, you hardly can where it is. The Whaletown of the future may be much built up; a sizable piece of public land will be important to it in 50 years which is not as long as you think; and I reiterate the S. end is well supplied w/ parks and playgrounds, the N. end has nothing, except lots of land owned by logging companies, and 4 subdivisions in the last 20 years.
