Everyone should have known Clayco was very far from being able to pull this off when they came in with a ridiculous TIF request; way out of the ballpark.

Now my understanding is the City is willing to give them no TIF funds at all, mainly because virtually the same exactly project is being built across the street without pubic assistance.

Even when they cut their ask in half, they were still completely unrealistic.

I suspect an office building and parking garage will get built on the Stage Center site, but it will be scaled down from what was proposed.
