Last week, I drove past the Lancaster Road Rail Trail parking lot and was dismayed at the congestion and traffic created by ATVs.

What a terrific opportunity that would be for Berlin! There are what, approximately 125 hotel rooms in Gorham? Two large hotels on Rte 110 could easily handle the ATVers tgat currently rent those. And without a corridor into Gorham I’m sure most of them would eat at our restaurants. What a great opportunity for new. Businesses into the City. Perhaps even the two or three ATV/Snowmobile agencies will relocate to Berlin! Ms. Blair and those who believe likewise will then be left to explain to the people of Gorham why the unemployment rate has gone up.
