Harrison Square.

Harrison Square It is a great opportunity to temper our extravagance with watchful contemplation…

The baseball stadium CAN’T exist without the lodging The inn CAN exist without a baseball stadium Of the accompanying actualities another inn is a stand alone venture for which the city purchased Belmont property years back to bolster the Grand Wayne Center And an ice-skating arena or soccer field or other stylishly satisfying office would give the same advantages

Public dollars + premium (does exclude cash for Hotel and Garage) $60-65 Million Stadium 60 Condos/retail 90 Parking spaces …Will They Come? Private (Hardball) dollars for The Project $19.5 Million $9.8 for 60 Condos $4.7 for Retail $5.0 for Stadium If we construct it…

And ask the accompanying inquiries... Is it the most ideal approach to utilize the taxpayers’ cash? Whether it’s Property Tax or Income Tax, isn’t it hard and fast of the assessment payer’s pocket? Should open cash be spent on NEW pleasantries, not copy those effectively serving the group? Can’t we give our city “Room to Dream” by empowering different thoughts for this range?

And the accompanying ones… Is baseball the BEST advancement? Is existing stadium INADEQUATE? Will Coliseum recover LOSS from stopping, concessions and lease installments? Should apartment suites be based on RIVERFRONT as opposed to around a ballpark? Numerous bidders for apartment suites?

And the accompanying... On the off chance that it’s worth $60-65 million to tempt the building of 60 condominiums and retail locations, would it be a good idea for us to bring advancement that supplements something we don’t as of now have? Should we put out proposition to different engineers around the nation to hear their thoughts for endeavors outside the lodging and carport? On the off chance that it’s worth doing, isn’t it worth doing right?
