Re: (rshsdepot) East Williston, NY is still dead......



But locals in the future may regret it and this is what I call a crime..

Did all these groups know that the station was threatened or deteriorating? Were they offered the chance to fix it up? Use it? Buy
it? Move it? Know it was in danger of removal?  It sounds like they didn't. I think if some in the community had someone somewhere
would have mentioned it somewhere that a search would find something...it seems they didn't...Is there knowledge that they all knew
and were offered a chance to save it and rejected it?  Or was this something only after 9/11 when almost no community has funds
anymore for this type of thing? Then it should have been sprayed with plastic and left until a better economic time....
