While having another tourist attraction would be nice, why put more stress on an already ailing infrastructure such as New Hanover County? Capt. Scheu is in charge of the battleship North Carolina, and by the story, he doesn't believe it's a wise choice for taxpayers. Most people that support this have probably got county water and sewer. The seven million dollars it would take just to get it here would be better spent getting water and sewer service to the folks in the Wrightsboro area. They have been waiting for over 20 years after it was promised to them. Fixing the sewer system that IS in service would be a good start! The roads are in bad need of repair in many places. The list goes on and on. So bring in that money pit and remember, the next time you eat oysters, they may have come out of Hewletts Creek!
