This is in reference to the article on the officials and the Rechlers breaking ground for construction of the last “Hampton Business District” building, another metal warehouse at Gabreski Airport [“The Final Piece Of The Puzzle: Officials Break Ground For Last Hampton Business District Building,” 27east.com, July 25].
To me, there is no cause for celebration here, as we went from a promised and needed “high-tech hub offering high-end careers, anchored by a 145-room hotel,” to a bunch of metal warehouses with loading docks used for the large and small trucking of goods. Classic bait-and-switch.
Shame on them all.
