From the board meeting last night...
Heard that private developers are moving forward on the proposed mixed use development which includes a conference center, despite the fact a proposed 1 percent increase in the city's hospitality tax did not get legislative approval earlier this week. "I guess we'll back up and we'll punt and we'll be better prepared next time," Mayor Dan Camp said.
The conference center will be last thing developed in the project, Camp said, noting officials are working on tax increment financing related to the project
