Sodden question: If this is such a great project, why does the public have to fund it?
By Smaatguy
This just chaps my hide... here we go again. $100k to another developer to get things moving. I don't recall the city handing me even a stick of gum when I remodeled my building:
Questions... just how much of this $100 k will remain in Ogden? With as big as this project appears to be and as "attractive" it is going to be, then it ought to be so successful that the public does not need to be funding it in ANY way. They say "the removal of the buildings is essentially free to the city." Ummm....so the City owns the buildings? NO...so how is that free to the city?
And here we go again with jobs lies... "creating" 30 to 50 temporary construction jobs. How? Are they going to tear them down with spoons? 50 guys riding a trackhoe?
As far as local developer... Google Wright Development Group and see where that lands ya. Yup... Layton... Hilton Garden Inn... sound familiar? Again the question...if this is such a great project, why does the public have to fund it?
I am livid beyond words.
