From the Lakeshore Weekly News: "For some time, the city of Excelsior has been exploring the option of building a fourth dock in the Port of Excelsior. The city council asked the Parks and Recreation Commission to explore the means and feasibility of adding the dock, which would be a half-residential, half-transient dock." Port
In the article, people are arguing over whether the city itself makes or loses money on their commercial docks? It sounds a bit like Mound's municipal liquor store. Does anyone know what the primary role of an accountant is? To provide numbers that are useful to management.
I do like the sound of, "The Port of Mound". Still there's the question of would it actually work? Lost Lake in Mound is not easy to change. It's my opinion that it's buffering Lake Minnetonka from Lake Langdon's poor water quality and other run off that would harm the big lake. On the other hand, we might only be talking about less than 10 percent of the current marsh that is Lost Lake. There are a lot of things to consider about the possibilities of there being a Port of Mound.
