ACC should simply be a component in a larger master plan. It should not be guiding outcomes for the area.

I agree with your assessment in that it can and should be much more than what it is.
When I say it seems, I mean that as I recently drove by the area for the first time in a few months, it looks pretty drab and empty. Last time I was in the area there was more construction activity.
There's quite a few city employees who are not very keen on the idea of relocating to Highland, but the city is gonna do what it's gonna do.
