Aura has been APROVED in a 9 - 0 vote.
Tonight was a good night... both urban and I sat thru 2 1/2 hours
of bla, bla, bla then at 9:15pm AURA was up on the agenda.
The cast was Daniel Libeskind and Craig Nissi in the front row
with the two of us. The Planning Commission started by joking
out loud about if there was anybody in the community that did
not want to see this project get approved. David Taylor group
first went up there first and opened with a few remarks then Daniel
went up to the podium and dazzled the full commission... they
were star struck.
urban... er, Jim followed by praising Craig Nissi for all his
quick response to schomes question on his black berry and
summed up by mentioning how the commissions vision to make
downtown a better place is now beginning to happen... Jim did
a great job summing up what many of us feel.
