After eight years with MetraPark, Ray Massie is resigning from his position as director of marketing, and he is saying the community is being misled regarding discussions about private management of the facility.
“It is not going to save you money, as a taxpayer, you are not going to save any more money if the facility goes private,” Massie said.
While many people visit or use the facility only a few times a year, he says the facility is around for the community to benefit from, and that their mission is not to make money under the current ownership. The community benefits most from the economic impacts of MetraPark events.
