Update: Think Green

This news came in after the preceding article was written. Sorry for the delay; here’s the update:

The City Council decided on Monday, December 15th, in a 5-1 vote that no more funds would be given for the permit process for the potential development of the Celery Pond.  J&B Landing and 1st Choice Marina are the other applicants, along with the City, in this project. 

According to an article by Andrew Lersten in the South Haven Tribune, on Sunday, December 21, 2008, city officials will also “ask the two other co-applicants for a letter of understanding, stating that they realize that the city’s continued support for the permit process does not mean the needed city approvals for Celery Pond development would be granted.”

The article stated that the other two applicants plan to pay the monies (estimated to be $7,585) for additional work to cover engineering costs as requested by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Both private owners want to move forward and keep the permit process active.

The new year will lead all of us forward in an economy that speaks for itself.  There are many levels of caution that are showing up nationwide. 

The obvious shift in spending habits is something that ripples through daily choices of lifestyle and living.  What was considered something wonderful to have, is being eliminated as wasteful excess. 

Think Green is an approaching opportunity of 2009.
