This debate, however, has dual interests for me. I'm for capitalism and free market industry, and would welcome new businesses coming to the state and providing people work (like Sallie Mae). I am also pro college and like the idea of a community-college-based city, sort of like Redmond, but more college centered. In the end, though, I think my loyalty can be evenly split as there are plenty of other properties that can be developed elsewhere in the state, which would still create jobs and develop industry, which would have the added benefit of letting the Newark campus continue to grow.

How about the State's most prominent educational institution toss us a bone down here in Sussex and build a downstate campus? That might be a better investment (public welfare-wise) than building just a bigger and badder sports complex.
Good point. I think I may have mentioned this idea or some derivation of it once before, but I agree that it's a good one. With a half trillion dollar shortfall in the budget though, I wouldn't be holding my breath for very long on this one.
