What a load of BS. The city was willing to let them use it for temporary use for the duration of the expansion project… but that wasn’t good enough?

Seems like they always had bigger plans in mind than a parking lot, which is why they were pushing so hard for a permanent rezoning to commercial, which would have “paved” the way for all kinds of possibilities.
