Toquerville - Going the wrong way!! Please Read
Yesterday afternoon our neighbor comes over and hands Yo a presentation put out by Ron Sinclair of the "Our World Family - International Culture Exchange". You can Google your heart out and not find anything about these people or Ron Sinclair.
There was a town meeting last night in which this group gave a presentation . I did not go, Yo did. Here's the basics:
1) They will build a 2000 acre school. hotel conference center and AMUSEMENT PARK in T-ville.
2) The amusement park will include a 750 ft tall Ferris Wheel . the worlds fastest Roller Coaster, an indoor Ski area. Future plans include a domed stadium.
3) The school will go from K to a 4 year college. They will be "teaching" people to run businesses and you must also take a "religious degree"
4) 600 hotel rooms on site
5) Re-route RT 17 thru the complex!
What is most scary is that the City Council has known about this for some time, yet it came public just on Wed. This will change Toquerville forever and certainly Washington County. Think about coming down from SLC and seeing this 750 ft wheel sticking up in the night sky. I'm sure the "glow" will be visible from parts of Zion and Red Cliffs.
OWL seems to have a Mormon affiliation yet that wasn't really brought out. When asked why they can't be Googled they answered " we like to fly under the radar". Not even a note in Spectrum On Line this AM.
My self and many others in town want to have a vote on this. Simply Yes or No. The City Council can just tell them go ahead at this point and we can't do a darned thing. With a 4 Billion dollar budget, I'm betting the Council has their pens ready. Wonder what contracts each will get!
Am I cynical? You bet. Remember, I came here from NJ , no place more corrupt! It can happen right here, too.
Any ideas from the Bogley brain trust? Hope this didn't bore you.

sounds like a developer scam to me. especially if they require the town/county to put some money down.
