    On the surface, I think it's a great thing for Cecil County. I'd have to see particulars before I'd give it my blessings.

    It's a great thing. More construction jobs, more local jobs once it's built.

    Sounds like they got a super sweetheart of a deal tax wise....

    It must've been been cheap land and sweet deals. The idea of people paying $8 to cross the river to come to Cecil still burns me up. I know Annapolis doesn't give two craps about the Eastern shore, but try to hide it.

    You don't have to pay the tolls to get there. Come up Rt1 over the dam, make a right onto 222. Take that to the casino/wolf lodge.

    Great Wolf said yesterday that this wasn't a done deal yet, and still a pie in the sky.

    I tend not to believe them. The zoning change has been in the works for probably the better part of a year now. They use a super secret code name while they're dicking around so as not to tip their hand, same with Amazon and Lidl.

    Speaking Lidl...... word on the street is that the refrigerated storage on 40 will.........

    $100 million dollar investment sitting empty, they mis calculated the US market, can barely compete with Adli and get trampled by Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

    That's what my sources are saying.

    The retail spot on 40 in Elkton? Never being built. They got smoked on the property, never even picked up the building permits from the County.

    Still don't believe it. Have you seen the inventives they are already getting??

    They've got it broken down to a thousand bucks for each person they hire, not to mention two decades worth of other incentives.....

    Cecil is desperate for growth, they'll give away the store to get these big companies in.

    Lidl.

    They sure don't seem to be in a hurry to start business

    Their grocery store in Aberdeen has sat finished for about a month now, gawking at the building when I ride by you can see what looks like a complete finished interior too but empty. Guess they are waiting for the empty warehouse to fill up... LOL

    So. Central Balto Co
    Great Wolf pricing annoys me. They advertise GroupOns and have Expedia rates in the $200's, but then have 3 layers of fees and extra person charges so a basic room is $450.

    Just went past the Lidl warehouse on 40, lights are on and all.

    Weird stuff. I'm trying to figure out ways to shave dollars off my power bill, they're lighting a 750,000 sq ft warehouse with no one in it.
