The announcement tommorow?

The long awaited announcement will be tommorow at the GWC. They're saying it'll be around 10:30, but it won't be open to the public (bummer), just a news conference.

Probably to avoid protests against the project/hecklers.

Well lets see. What does this mean for downtown?

As far as we know, it would be a multi-purpose facility. It would include a baseball stadium, as well as eateries and some retail. Also condominiums are a possibility.

This could be just the project we need to reverse the movement of people from inner-city to outer-city. Its got the three main components- residential/jobs/entertainment.

Cost could be anywhere from $100 million to $225 million, with the public only paying for about $75 million of it.

Yeah, thats a hefty price tag, but I think it'll pay off in the long run.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
