I agree. To be honest with 2 son’s families and 4 grandchildren living out of state, this attraction could be very big. With the area universities, the out of state students, their families - what is a big family friendly attraction here other than the zoo, the MOST or Lights on the Lake when they visit especially in the winter? Another thing to keep in mind, this is county money while most of the things being proposed for county money is to address city specific problems.

The city used to promote sledding, ice skating, fishing derbies, cross country skiing, swimming championships etc in their beautiful city parks that no longer exist. I remember speed skating races and just open skating in Onondaga Park in the city with hot cocoa concessions. Burnet Park used to have a skating rink for Broom hockey leagues etc. The city is trying (renting kayaks for example at Onondaga, weekly concerts etc) but needs to address its’ own local problems and deteriorating infrastructure in their uniquely gorgeous city parks etc.

It is a big deal that the aquarium is being located in the city boosting the inner harbor instead of on county property. Local city and county schools could use this aquarium as a big boost to their educational programs too.
