Well, why would you spend all that money on Consultants.....to have nothing left to effect the changes that would benefit the town?
That makes no sense at all. It might be what happens in some places, but I would hope that there is enough local knowledge and expertise to do something of this nature.
That isn't to say that local contributors should not be paid......they should, but my guess is that they would be much more realistic in terms of their services.

But it seems as though this idea has no running value....So I will leave suggestions to others.... They may come up with something that would find more favour.
