They do have to ..."I understand, I understand. They do have to pay for the new welcom center building." <br />As a Charlottesville resident, let me chip in my opinion that they didn't need to *build* the new welcome center building. The whole operation was perfectly presentable and nice as it was.<br />I'm really outraged.
