Not-So-Jolly Mt. Holly

Things have ground to a complete halt for the big, pretentious Mt. Holly development in Beaver County. My that's a shock. How the bottom line on that ever penciled out is beyond me. Now Chad Johnson, one of the county commissioners who greenlighted the project, says he always had doubts about whether it was feasible. Here's the deal, Sparky. One of your jobs as a public official is to protect the public. That includes making sure there aren't a bunch of dead, half-finished developments in your jurisdiction. That means you need to make sure there is a way to get the development across the finish line before you approve it. Come look at Draper if you want to see the results of local government being asleep at the switch for 10-20 years.
