From the Niagara Falls Review:
If it took White Star three years to build the Titanic, it shouldn’t take two years to build new boats to give tours of Niagara Falls, says Patricia Salci Mangoff, co-ordinator of the Preserve Our Parks group and a critic of the Maid of the Mist.
During a Niagara Parks Commission consultation Wednesday, Mangoff challenged a consultant’s estimate that it could take at least two years for a new company to get up and running if it were successful in replacing the Maid of the Mist.
“You have no concept how difficult it is going to be to get a new service provider,” said Bill Mocsan, a Mississaugabased consultant hired as a procurement specialist to help the Niagara Parks Commission conduct a competitive bidding process that could lead to a new company providing boat tours on the Niagara River.
