Impact analysis
The $2.9M state grant covers a big chunk of the project, so state taxpayers are footing part of the bill while the city hopes for more downtown activity and tax base.
Renters looking for downtown housing, local businesses, the developer, and anyone who wants a new rooftop hangout spot all stand to gain.
No groups are directly harmed, though state taxpayers bear the grant cost and some may argue the money could have gone to other priorities.
