Basic economics
NORFOLK — In the April 14 story regarding possible improvements at Skyview Lake, I read with interest the section of a story where a letter from four city officials was quoted.

Within the quote, there is the following statement: “ We do not think it is wise to install additional permanent structures, encouraging the expansion of these types of activities at Skyview.”

Hello you four! Since when do we not want to encourage activities that bring people to Norfolk? People who shop while they are here, buy gas and benefit the local economy in many ways. In a time when we are trying to improve Norfolk, recruit Norfolkans to come home and generally improve our city it would seem that this “Gang of Four” doesn’t understand the basic economics of Skyview activities.
