Arts Hub Debate

Environmental Benefits - Sustainability

Option 1

The comment highlights concerns about the financial sustainability of investing in a new arts hub, emphasizing the high costs associated with construction and real estate in the current economic climate. The individual argues that such an investment would be frivolous and not a prudent use of taxpayer money, particularly for a project perceived to benefit only a small segment of the community. Additionally, the reference to a recent expensive renovation project in the area underscores skepticism about the fiscal responsibility and long-term sustainability of similar projects by the Nelson City Council.

Point No	Comment
881.8	extra expenses for the tax payers for the Arts again for a very small elite group of people of Nelson . We have a gallery called The Suter which was very expensive to "renovate" with a 40% increase in the sector of Construction theses days and the prices of buildings  is not a clever investment for NCC. Again frivolous unsustainable  move for NCC.
