Ground was "broken" last week and their have been construction crews out every day since. It appears they are maneuvering utilities.

Increasing costs force Copaken to ask more from the public kitty.

"Since early last year, the estimated development cost for the 12-story ARTerra apartment project has increased from $27.4 million to $40.7 million. Without additional public support, the project won't happen, development partner Jon Copaken said. "

Increased labor/construction costs.

That seems unlikely. How old was their original estimate?

Go up about 8-10% per year. Thats a lot more than the increase.

They also mention that their original estimate was bogus and they have since switched contractors.
