If this is true, going to the Leftbank and making the comment I made could have paid off!
I asked the Mayor not to give up on the Blanchard Site! The PPS District should have contigency plans for a time when the building would be unusable (e.g., like an earthquake, etc.). Basically I wanted him to think "outside the box" on how the city could support the PPS with their issues of the move and support saving the MC and using the best site for the AAA Ballpark.
If he truly said that the "MC, Rose Garden, and the Ballpark can co-exist in the Rose Quarter area" that leaves only the PPS Admin. Building at Blanchard.
(Possible solution: find a temp. location for the admins and also pay them somehow 150%, like was done for the USPO site to the feds)
I AM STOKED!!!
Now if only the Blazers can stop Yao and the Rockets tomorrow and win the first of four games.
