Is it time to rebuild Philipsburg?

Dear Editor,
Why not bulldoze Mount Garbage and fill in the whole of the Great Bay salt pond, creating a proper ring road and storm drainage for Philipsburg. Sell all the newly created property (don’t give it away), and use that money to buy or lease the land in Geneve Bay (between Pointe Blanche and Guana Bay) to build an incinerator-to-energy plant, as well as a secondary dump site for garbage that cannot be incinerated.
Holland has the best civil engineers in the world. Imagine a master plan for a whole new Philipsburg with roadways, drainage, sewage and NO DUMP. No – it’s just a dream!
