I would much rather see a pro development organization where under-utilized sites are promoted for utilization, or redevelopment. I realize that Centre-venture filled this roll to a certain degree, but only for city owned (abandoned) land and buildings.
I am sure we can do better than just another winer group...
Lets be proactive and direct efforts towards attracting more interest in downtown investment.
