Last night the LaCrosse county board went into closed session to discuss Skipperliner. The boat builder has closed the door on their town of Campbell business. Board chair Steve Doyle tells us the receivership is still in process and everyone with a stake hopes to find someone to buy Skipperliner. Doyle says the goal is to sell the entire operation to someone who would set up a business of some kind. He points out that it would lose a lot of value selling it off piece by piece. The chair admits that needs to happen sooner than later.
