It seems to me we may have the cart before the horse here. While the rail trail was apparently ideal for setting up the fireworks, it seems unlikely that will work in the future without excessive added expense for JPA, if at all. I'm sure Northstar Fireworks would be happy to look at possible alternative sites with board members before the meeting. If there is no viable location, the above discussion seems pointless.  

So my question is: Has JPA actively pursued finding possible alternative locations? I'm sure this question will come up at the September 2nd. meeting and hopefully the JPA Board will be prepared with an answer.
