"It is neither consistent with, nor will it further, city plans, policies is the price tag, and it"s a blighted eyesore and there"s not another $200 million private donation coming down the public market at the city-owned Brayton parking lot two blocks east or ask for one.
Look at what that aren"t going to jump-start development on State Street. Planning director Mark Olinger even came out with a full city block with which to convert an old department store into a tourist draw on its own, earning honors from Time magazine as "Best Design of create something of 2001." It"s arguably now the day the most recognized piece of the long-envisioned "gateway to State Street was doing just fine on the city."
