Considering the rocky history of the carousel project, I think citizens will favor completion of the project only if it can be located in a 24/7 secured facility or location, with no further expenditure of public funds. It will need to be proven to be financially self-sustaining and protected from vandalism before it is installed. The arson fire at the Playground of Dreams and desecration of the Veterans Memorial serve to remind us that not all Tri-Cities' residents respect community improvements.
