Ty's Take

Town council's moving on those old Wyndham properties, and that's the kind of real estate shuffle that either fixes something broken or creates new problems—depends who you ask and what gets built there. For years those parcels sat half-empty, bleeding into the landscape the way vacant resort developments do in places like this. The first readings are just the opening move, but it matters that the town's willing to step in and shape what happens next instead of letting it sit. In a place built on tourism dollars and local roots both pulling at once, that's not nothing.
