The type of project he’s proposing is exactly what we’re looking for downtown. It’s something you can’t find at a big box store. It was a welcome proposal and hopefully he can get back on...

What we’ll see over the next few years is a pickup in overall development in the city and the fringe areas around the city.

If we would make our own (department), it would be deep in the red for years until we could build up a revenue base.
