Auburn has had a Hospitallity DEgree program for at least a decade and I think several years more than that.  The hotel just across the street from campus is owned and run by the program.  Those students don't seek that degree thinking they will get to stay in this area.  Sure a hotel needs one manager and a couple of assistants that will pay decent.  The maintenence manager will do OK, the worker bees will be at or near minimum wage.

You actually reinforce my argument when you say AC has NO PLAN.  Their entire approach seems to be to beg RL to do SOMETHING.  One hotel does not a make "resort".  Sure those millionaires will eat a meal or two, but only at RL owned eateries.  They aren't going to go to town halfway through a vacation and spend money in the local stores.  They won't be going to any "local" places. The taxes collected will never be enough to pay  for the services they want extended to them. 

The bottom line is AC has no plan, no idea, no clue.  The "leaders" have failed the folks in a big way.  They have put the city in 10 million in debt for their Taj Hahal with absoulutely ZERO plans on how to raise the tax base to pay for it other than annexing  a few high dollar homes.  Dadeville is no better, apparently their plan is to beg a TV show to come save us.
