This is awesome for several reasons:

1) Promotes Economy and Development (including more density on the surrounding areas)
2) It will frame the View of the Capital and UT and make downtown appear as more of a dense development towards Lady Bird.... kind of like Chicago or Manhattan as seen from the water...
3) That area wouldn't develop well if it were looked at as an opportunity to build a mega-tall hospital building like in Little Rock. All you can hope for at that point is for TCBY to build something tall. This is a much bigger deal than that.... It lays the foundation for continued development and financial protection of downtown.... We don't ever want the downtown area to fizzle if one part of our economy fails (like Detroit)
4) All in all, it will mean more height and density (and urban rail)...

Yay
