RN meeting 7/27/21:
Most, if not all of the important juicy stuff was talked about in executive session so the rest of the meeting was just updates and an expansion plan for Zenam on Broadway.
75 E Broadway: even though this was in executive session there were tidbits of information from Fletcher that suggests this project status is "unclear". Which is ironic since so much time and effort was spent to secure a loan etc and we should have more info by now, imo. It is essentially unclear since there are NO updates provided from the developers (online) whatsoever and the only source Of update I get is from RN meetings. So, if anyone has any inside info that would be great
![Ha ha](images/smilies/haha.gif)
In the budget overview, they had 75 e Broadway project cost as deferred or postponed. I don't remember if it was this way last time or if this has always been the case but they explained that it's deferred because they wouldn't owe any upfront cost until a few years...
TCC improvements: same info as last time but Lot C parking garage might be a little delayed because of all the rain we got but apparently they are going to work around that. Technology and better WiFi going in. Water in the Eckbo plaza is still scheduled for September and the music hall is getting new seats.
Zenam restaurant expansion called the Bazaar: located on Broadway, they have a cool idea for an expansion to include the two buildings west of it for two additional restaurants plus an area in the back to house food vendors (kinda like Boxyard or American Eat co) but I'm guessing with more African, Asian, middle eastern cuisine. They envision a central kitchen for the vendors to use and a bar/patio outdoor seating. RN liked the idea.
Hotel Congress expansion: basically what you can read about in the daily star recently. Jazz lounge is being built in the meeting room area and then there's the outdoor stage area renovation.
I think that's it.. If anyone else listened in please chime in.
