Sounds like there won't be any need for consideration after the initial three months since the company will be desolved. Unless the undisclosed business plan is to persuade the ridiculously ignorant town council to offer a cash infusion to keep the transit company afloat, "for the benefit and well-being of the underserved citizens."

I saw the metro rapid sign hanging on that building for a few months. Might save the town of century a lot of time and money and do believe thats warranted as a reference.

No due diligence brought us. The Helicopter co.,, Magnum Industrusty, Sophie’s swimwear… A simple background check on the owners would have saved the Town of Century a lot of money! The business center was done with grant money several years ago, so there should be a business plan that would have been with that which would possibly have the information about renting space! As for how to charge on a shared meter, that could be done by square footage. If you have two tenants on one meter, one has 2000 sq Ft, the other 1000 sq ft .. then one pays 1/3 of electric & the other pays 2/3. I’m sure everyone would want to see this business succeed & prosper, but that will be up to the owners to make that happen, not the city. It’s a great help to have no rent to pay for 3 months! As with any new business, it’s a lot of blood, sweat, tears, long hours and prayers! If you do what you do… you get what you got! No due diligence brought us.

Why didn't they offer to sell it to these people? Also ECAT runs a service and where are the vans and paratransit? I guess they want to help a fellow, in the community suck off the giveamint. TLk about entitlement and privilege. Pffft. You realize the giveamint runs off tax money paid in, ideally. Or print in out of air as the case with the feds. Run the incorporation of the town like a business. This will be a flop.

Watch the old re-run TV shows and the public service announcement pound into your head day after day that if you are on Medicaid or government assistance everything is given to you free. Food, over the counter meds, extra money, TRANSPORTATION anywhere you want to go. Our present administration does not care what it will cost the taxpayers to fund all this. Why should they? No common sense is applied and as long as the public is willing to pay for any and all frivolous trips , some transportation company will take advantage of it and take the cash Uncle Sam so freely hands out Not necessarily a bust, smart business people.

My thoughts on this was the exact same. This is a sham. They will obtain funding from wherever they will be acquiring these funds from. Funds that will most likely not have to be paid back. They will remain in business for a short while after obtaining these funds, long enough to funnel this money into personal accounts and then close shop after a year or so. Perfect business plan to gain personal wealth. I agree totally with fisherman on this. My thoughts on this was the exact same. This is a sham.
