Readers React: More Nonresidents Might Head to White Birch Bay

White Birch Bay could see a big boon in business this summer, according to a number of reader comments.

Last week, Florissant City Council agreed to raise the pools’ daily rate and seasonal pass for nonresidents to be comparable to Hazelwood’s.

In return, a number of nonresidents expressed on the Florissant Patch Facebook page that they plan to go elsewhere for some fun in the sun and water.

Cassandra Nichole posted, “I'm a unincorporated Florissant resident but I will not pay double price at Koch park its not worth it , but I will pay that amount for white birch it's bigger better and I offer a more variety of fun.”

Melissa Benner also wrote, “Koch can't compete with White Birch, for sure. They will lose business quickly.”
