Hi George,
I am sorry to hear that Chuck Lipcon and Ross Graves have made you feel like I am the biggest opponent to the Arthrex
project. I do have my concerns, but they are concerns that deal with making sure the plumbing, waste and ventilation
are properly dealt with.
Ross explained to me what a "wet lab" is using a description from wikipedia, not from the company itself. I'm not sure if
he wasn't able to get in touch with a representative from Arthrex? When I researched Arthrex and what they actually do,
they seem like a very upstanding company that is a welcome addition to Vail, bringing in the kind of clientele that we all
want to see.
Although I do have concerns as stated above, I am not convinced that the concerns can't be resolved with a few
questions answered. I generally feel that Chuck Lipcon has spoken FOR me in this matter without having spoken TO
me. I have NEVER had a conversation with Chuck Lipcon about this matter, only Ross Graves who scared me at first, but
after some research I am less nervous and would only like to be reassured that our notoriously bad plumbing, limited
garbage and waste disposal and the HVAC issues are addressed.
I understand that this is new territory for most people and it is scary if you read these things on the internet. It may not
be the most ideal usage of the space in many people's opinion, but it will be a long term, high end tennant, which we
need in the building.
It doesn't seem like what Arthrex does coincides exactly with the terror and hysteria that is being distributed. Please feel
free to call or email if you would like to talk about any of my concerns, as I feel that they are valid, but not unresolvable.
Live In Season!
