Volcano Island Resort . . . was there really a Plan?

Sorry, haven't posted in awhile!

Most Fairmonters are now familiar with the once-proposed, now-defunct Volcano Island Indoor Water Park Resort and Conference Center planned for the old Sharon Steel / Fairmont Coke Works site.

Follow me on this one. What if there never was a plan for the Volcano Island Resort? Or should I say there may have been a Plan, just never the intent to really build the Resort. Furthermore, what if the “real” intent was to obtain a permit allowing them to extract and sell over 40,000 tons on remaining coal without the necessary Dept. of Environmental Protection approval and associated “red tape” and, in the end, close the permit and walk away? Sound farfetched? You say that could never happen? You say we are “too smart” for something like that to happen? Nobody would ever do that to us, would they? Just askin'!
