As I've said my worry with this is that we will get an equivocal answer, the project will be delayed indefinitely, and the two blocks will sit empty.
If it does move forward I think it will be positive for the downtown, even though it was not the best possible location and design. That is a pretty good outcome when you're talking about 3 levels of government plus the private partner and various other agencies.

If it goes forward, I am still holding out hope that it will be redesigned somewhat before the plans are finalized. It is a shame that it doesn't take advantage of the waterfront views as some have said, however, I'm kind of glad a big chunk of waterfront real estate is not going to be gobbled up by a large facility that sees intermittent use and will often be closed to the general public.
