On the one hand, I wonder just how much more intrusive into the local culture the resort will be than the military bases have been.
On the other, count my deepest skepticism towards any economic development project whose backers tout how beneficial it will be to the local economy. How rarely do those ever turn out as expected. The jobs turn out to be temporary, or McJobs, or go to imported workers rather than locals. The jaundiced eye that is so frequently turned to government, I apply to big business and all its works.
