Don’t be so cynical. Without speculative demolition, we wouldn’t have the world class private developments we now have at the Landing, Courthouse, Annex, Greyhound Station, and River City Brewing Company sites.

Really sucks, but it's clear Southeast isn't the right developer to push this one across the finish line.

They've had like ten years.

That's plenty of time, and their inability to move on the Trio is hurting our downtown investment elsewhere.

Get it into the hands of a developer who's willing and able to turn dirt yesterday.

How did it go from $194 million and $89 million in incentives requested in June, to $212 million and $96.8 million in incentives requested in October? If the June numbers were a no-go, the priority should have been to decrease the amount requested from the public. I just don't get it.

I'd give Gateway a call to see if they want to put their best foot forward on this project.

I would put a lot of money that they city is getting behind the scene indications from other developers, whoever it might be, that they want to take on this project.
