I guess the lack of outrage is because the tax abatement is on a condo conversion that:zonk wrote: I can't believe they just got their tax abatement....a full 25 years. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE????
reuses an old building that is difficult to find a reuse for otherwise;
puts new residents in a currently empty building;
avoids demolition;
is within Downtown borders;
is in an area where our past mayor stated growing population and density is a goal;
is on a main mass transit route, and future light rail trunk;
puts new residents around the park, which is in need of users;
doesn't displace any residents in need of affordable housing;
adds customers near Midtown Marketplace and Power & Light.
That's my guess.
