NO. If the developer wants to purchase the property at its present fair market value, fine, but haven't we had about enough of giving property away to fat-cat developers on the basis of vague "promises"? I certainly have.
Way to go Jackie "AKA One Term Perm". This is not a good deal for the city. Big Government at it's finest. And government-funded studies are about as useless as the government themselves.  |
Why would you tear down a beautiful theater that is located in the two blocks south of ccc deemed the cultural arts district of Slc in the city’s master plan? Minneapolis has 4 old theaters in their theater district. One of them was even moved to be closer to the others (similar to odd fellows hall, but on a larger scale). If one city is willing to pay to move an old theater, why can we pay to restore this one? I guess Minneapolis will always have the superior arts scene and collection of venues.
