Next, (1c) we need a parking garage to be built for Omni or any other to come onboard. Now, well after the vote to commence, we are quoted a cost of 84MM in subsidy (1d) which will actually cost north of $130MM and we have to cede future tools for redevelopment to get the deal done. But, they're not done. Apparently, Phase 1a is going to fall short and we need more space (Phase 1e) to host the events these powers that be envision. For good or bad, we've bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner on the installment plan. Not pleased at all with how this has transpired. How very "Conservative" of all of those that made this happen this way. But I guess it's OK, because those in charge are all so much better qualified to spend our money than the taxpayers.
