Vella-Wilkinson says: “RIAC is really making a concerted effort to being a good neighbor.” Then why are they pushing forward with the relocation of the ball fields when they have not identified the source for the funding to do so? They need to identify the $22 million for the glycol plant and at least $18 million for the safety improvments. That is a $40 million locked in requirement that RIAC needs to write a check for. Then they can deal with the $4 million plus for the ball fields.

If they spend the $4 million on the ball fields first and then come up short for the glycol plant and safety improvements, then what happens? RIAC has no assurances at all that they can come up with the $88 million they are claiming is needed for the runway extension. The number is actually much bigger than that by the way. Because the whole project has a $400 plus million price tag on it.

This is another 38 Studios fiasco happening in slow motion.
