Something must have changed in the law for the new year? All public info if anyone cares to look. Sorry to hear this as I've always wanted to go there. Maybe there is a new and better facility on the horizon?
No...this has been in the works since hurricane Sandy. They made a lot of money storing damaged cars. The deal that they took is 75 million over 15 year lease on the land for auto storage...they have been pecking at this for a while now.
There is NO excuse, other then greed, to keep these plans in the closet until last minute...they took a big DUMP on everybody who was a customer of their drag racing venue...no question about it. We had heard rumors of this for over a year. The only reason I knew about it is because I'm good friends with one of the contractors hired to do the work...no, they kept this all quite for a long time. They were taking quotes for the work over a year ago.
