In recent weeks, one after another, expert speakers have emphasized the importance of cities investing in downtown areas and the economic and quality of life returns that have been evidenced as a result.
The addition of a downtown stadium/multi-purpose entertainment venue is an investment that will transform our downtown riverfront into a vibrant, family friendly entertainment destination. A huge shot in the arm for downtown merchants and revitalization, economic activity throughout our area and a much needed and powerful additional asset to our vital tourist industry and broader economic development efforts.
It is unlikely that in a generation or more, our city will have another opportunity to participate in a partnership that has the potential to transform and elevate our region-wide economic and quality of life standing as significantly as this one....embrace the vision, we have all the elements required for success.
