2) why is the church is moving forward with a building addition if it's going to be demolished.- Is it possible that the Western Boundary for the stadium site would we McGee? With Northern boundary Truman Rd and Southern boundary 17th St, Then you just use that square and march it East to Cherry St? Not sure if that is the plan or not

To make their argument for more money to vacate and sell better.

Or they simply believe it's unlikely that the Royal's move to an EC location and if they do, they will be adequately compensated for their investment.

The Royals are not doing a good job of communicating with anybody and their lack of transparency is going to kill the vote. The Chiefs not having released any of their plans also is troubling. It feels like Stan Kronke level of sabotage at this point with how poorly he worked with STL on their stadium plan, like are the Royals trying to have the vote fail so they can move to Nashville? Nothing is passing the smell test right now.

If people refuse to sell, wouldn't it be tied up in litigation for a long time?

There's an rfp out for the current steamboat Arabia site and that's one of the options being kicked around.

Think it would make more sense there.

Cordish has PLENTY of empty storefronts in the district they can offer up these businesses free rent for the hassle of moving and fill up the district. Win win!
