It is a chore to have to read posts like this.

Getting that way, yeah.
Funny--sometimes.
High maintenance--usually.

Anyway......The Wilmington Ave. building is topped out on the east end...7 stories. The apts. on McClelland are topped out...5 stories. Sugarhouse is getting kinda urban. Sorry, wrong thread.

I think it's good here as the sugarhouse thread has been dead lately- it's not worth being strict about what post goes where if it ruins discussion.

Just a little off topic, but does anyone know how I can select to ignore posts from a user? I know there used to be a button or link somewhere that would let me do that but I can't find it anymore. Thanks in advance!

The work on main street is a major gas line replacement. Northbound 100 S to 200 S has been closed for a few weeks and should open in about 3 weeks, 200 S to 300 S will shut down here pretty soon. I think they are going all the way to 400 S.

Go to your user profile user control panel and find the ignore list. Then start typing in the name of the person. For instance, if the person you were trying to block starts with the lowercase letter "j", then you would start there and as you progressed in spelling it out it would narrow down the list of potential registered users to block.

The only downside is that you have to stay logged in for it to work.

I'm pretty much to that point as well.

Ah, thank you for the correct info!

Thank you! That'll make reading the forum(s) much easier and less cluttered.

Some cities, like Denver as you pointed out, helped to finance a CCH with bonds and other mechanisms in order to help the developer offset the cost of the building. SL County has specifically stated over and over that the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) tool will be used to pay back the developer the cost that will be incurred to build the convention and parking space that will be part of the new CCH, not the rooms. The County will ultimately be paying for the convention and parking space and the County will operate/manage the new convention space and parking as part of the Salt Palace. Convention space that is desperately needed in order to attract some larger conventions and retain OR.

As I have mentioned several times before, without a direct connection to the Salt Palace it impossible for the County to operate, manage, and market the new convention space as part of the Salt Palace, because if it's not connected to the Salt Palace, and thus it's not part of the Salt Palace.

If all the County needed in order to say the Salt Palace had more square footage was have hotels with convention space nearby they could simply buy the convention space in the Marriott and the Raddison, and magically the Salt Palace just added over 35,000 square feet of convention space. But come on we all know that counting the meeting space in those two hotels doesn't add square footage to the Salt Palace.

But hey, if someone can explain how having convention space that isn't connected to the Salt Palace, adds more convention space to the Salt Palace I would be anxious to hear that.

So, if Dinwoody and Arrow Press were to be the location of the CCH and the expanded square footage of the Salt Palace convention space, it would make sense that it would have to have a tunnel under W. Temple.

One potential possibility would be for the developer to build the hotel on one of many sites surrounding the Salt Palace and then build convention space on the Royal Wood Plaza site. That would ultimately increase the overall cost to the developer because that then involves two sets of building plans, two foundations, acquiring more parcels, additional meeting space and parking in the hotel only, rather than a shared agreement with the SP space. I really don't see the developer going in that direction, does anyone else? Once again why the RWP site makes the most sense. Plenty of space for Salt Palace expansion, with a direct connection to existing expo space, plenty of space for a tall, or wide, or two hotel towers, with room for additional convention space in the future.

I'm really disappointed with where the livestock stables at the fairgrounds are going.. It looks like they are going with a corrugated steel roof.. It looks like it's going to look horrible and not maintain the classic look of the building's at all.. It probably won't even have the windows that use to be up on the roof area... Hopfully I'm wrong and the put somthing over the metal roofing.. It's not looking good at this point though :-(

Update on The Plaza at State Street.

Futuremayor. Would you be able to add the new project on 400s and 500e on the first page? That would be awesome. :-)

AjiuO, Are you talking this type of roof, and what color is it?
