Education Corridor Will Extend Beach

Christie Wood: The Education Corridor has been discussed and planned for purchase for over over 16 years in this community. It was a long process that now assures that this large piece of property with waterfront access is in the hands of the public, and will be utilized for education purposes. In the 1970's our community and college leaders fought hard for the purchase of the NIC beach. Hard to believe it, but there were people who did not support that acquistion for the public. Some people wanted the land to go to developers. The NIC beach runs the entire length of the Dike road and is heavily utilized by local families for recreation. In the near future the Mill site will compliment the rest of the campus, and be open to the public to enjoy as well.

Question: Which ticket for North Idaho College Board of Trustees do you trust more to oversee the development of the Education Corridor: Wood-Howard or Nilson-Ketchum?
