Elected officials of the Village of Lewiston have an obligation to protect the ownership of the public lands in this unique and environmentally sensitive area and to protect the Niagara River riverfront from overdevelopment.
We, the undersigned, find the actions of the elected officials who approved this gift of public land to a privatebusinessto be an abdication of their duty and strongly oppose the request of the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours to develop any building which obstructs the view of the Niagara River.

The feedback I have received from neighbors confirms that we all value our unobstructed view of the riverfront far more than a private structure. I am currently reviewing the village board records to prepare for our next steps in challenging this land transfer.

The steady growth of this movement confirms that the community values our public riverfront far more than private interests. Your commitment to preserving this view proves that we expect transparency and stewardship from our local leadership.

Total corruption. Since when does the board give away land without even asking the tax payers?
Keep our waterfront natural. Nobody wants a massive building blocking the best view in the village.
THIS IS OUR RIVER. stop the overdevelopment now.
Ridiculous to sell public land for a dollar. That view belongs to the people of lewiston not a private company.
Very disappointed in the village board. They work for us not the jet boat tour company.
