Great idea for the Lagrange Inn

Having just read the recent piece about the Lagrange and seeing all of the pics I am more disturbed than ever by the proposal to tear it down or "move it out of the way". Enough with commercial encroachment ! Just because a piece of property exists does not mean it should be developed. GREED is killing our society. Enough already. It should be patently obvious to anyone that this structure should be preserved at all costs. Even if that means some poor developer can't make a few million destroying it ! It's time to think outside the box! My vision for the Lagrange Inn is to turn it into a BUSINESS CO-OPERATIVE. An office sharing system along the lines of a Regus model. The possibilities are plenty. There could be shared receptionists, Day offices, conference rooms, business lounges, a cafeteria, a day care, maybe a gym too. This idea would help young professionals get a foothold in the business world on a tight budget. Maybe our local politicians could make their offices there. And there could even be a small catering facility. The WEST ISLIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY could be based there. Now this is a great idea because it is productive and progressive without being at all disruptive or destructive ! Who could possibly disagree with such a great idea ?
