Absolute no brainer the museum should have been in the old Farmers Building for all of the reasons mentioned in this article. Could someone from council please explain why this has not happened- Is the old site option cheaper for the rate payer? Does the old site option increase the vibrancy of the city and bring cash to the businesses in the inner city?
