Taber warns Sampson park move costly for New York
Rep. Taber argues that acquiring the $55 million Sampson Naval Station for a Finger Lakes state park would create a heavy ongoing bill. He cites required maintenance as at least $100,000 yearly and Navy conditions on future use. He notes needs for sewage, water, fire services, guarding, and housing upkeep. He expects no immediate disposal decision.
