But there's a problem. Wilson Borough is unable to convey directly to Skyline unless it first conducts an auction at which anyone could bid to buy the tract. This could complicate Robinson in her quest to attract private equity with promises of an historic tax credit.
To foreclose the possibility that someone other than Skyline gets this tract, the Borough could convey to the county GPA, which in turn would munificently turn it over to Skyline. That way the law against this kind of insider dealing would be followed even though the spirit of the law would clearly be ignored.
In July, the GPA tabled this land transfer because Wilson Borough itself had yet to take action. Though Wilson Borough has since authorized the transfer, the GPA took no action at all at their meeting yesterday.

I want that land for my monument. I deserve a fair and legal opportunity to bid on it. I'm thinking a Columbus statue dedicated to Tampon Tim. But it could be avowed racist and Democratic Party lion, Woodrow Wilson. Hold the legally required bid or I'll sue the shit out of you.
Great project ! It will lead to 200 hundred good paying construction jobs.
With this 200 million dollar redevelopment of a brown field, Mayor Barrett is single-handedly leading the revitalization of Wilson Boro. Great job Mayor !
Never has so many done so little
The people of Wilson Borough are demanding action and they’re demanding it now !
Fixing the Cup is going to bring in tons of EIT and LST tax money to Wilson. Way to go Mayor Barrett !
You people don't know what you are talking about. This is a Lamont McClure project. If you don't believe me, just ask him.
Looks like the pr firm is at work today. Do it without my tax money.
I gladly buy it and sell it to them!
Wilson School District will lose big time. The 20 years without increase taxes. Bad project Skyline will default on it.
All of these comments are coming from
Silverline and the Bartee scam team. They are trying to bamboozle the public into thinking that this is good for the community when it’s actually a total scam and an obscene waste of tax payer money. Mayor Barrett is an idiot for going along with this but no one ever accused him of being smart. Time will prove him to be an idiot when it never gets done and Bartee fleeces the taxpayers of $29m. Let’s pray that Vargo-Heffner, Giovanni, Heckman, Goffredo and Brown have the backbone to stand up to McClure and vote against this colossal waste of money!
Obvious McClure and his cronies posting. He is pushing this waste of taxpayer money. Another photo op? Press conference? Contributions? Who knows but this is one of the shadiest deals the county ever entertained. Even with the shadiest county executive ever.
Anon 5:32 hit it right on the button. If the school board signs on to not receive any tax dollars for Dixe for 20 years , those board members will go down as the dumbest in history. It’s a HORRIBLE deal for the Wilson School Board and their students
Sell the Dixie site to Nate Hyman. He will turn it into a beautiful complex with his own money.
Wilson doesn't exactly produce the smartest people. They're hamstrung by being Wilson people from Wilson. They will make this mistake because they're just dumb. Name those Wilsonites who've gone on to great things and improved humanity. Take your time.
Reibman: Do something right for once and just sell the damn building to Hyman!
I just read your post. It is by far one of the dumber, broad brush, defamatory, condescending, arrogant statements I have ever seen on BOH’s blog. And that’s saying something!
