Well, maybe the AMOA (if they are the benficiaries of this real estate sale) will use the money and actually buy some art for their museum. It is kind of lacking in that department right now.

I think the county should develop land along Airport Blvd. for court buildings and office buidings. The area is well located and I don't think the NIMBY opposition to large or fairly tall buildings would be all that great in the area where there are currently some county offices near Airport and 2222/290. It won't happen, but it would give a push towards new development in that area adjacent to Highland Mall. The downtown block is crying out for a hotel or apartment block or a nice office building. Maybe they will put something decent up, but it won't knock anybody's socks off that is for sure.
