I hate paywalls, as most of the article was unreadable without a subscription. Time is running out to renovate the Powerhouse building into something usable, what does the Mayor seem most interested in doing here? Even more, remember the whole center of the Powerhouse district, the Lorillard building that was torn down years ago for a perspective jenga tower that's been ditched? The One was built next to it, but it was this property that was supposed to be the jewel where the next big development was to be centered. For over a decade now.... NOTHING. just a partially grassed over closed off lot. The Powerhouse District concept is one of the most egregious failures of vision, but could be recaptured if these two properties could be re-invisioned.
