Dear Sir: It is sad that two years after dis- cussing and studying the Old OTHS site, the best that the Town, the OTMH and the School Board can envision, is that the building will remain in a derelict vacant state for the next l0 years. They are waiting for the public purse to come up with a hand out. There will be no construction activity, no contribution to municipal tax revenue. There is even a pipe dream that someone will want to rent parts of the existing building. Heaven is a barbecued meal eaten alfresco Take the Fat Chef for instance.
