And if Joan Campbell showed up you know that there's probably a
developer somewhere that stands to lose money.
In our neighborhood one developer received a $600,000 subsidy
(around 1/4 of our NRP budget for Phase I) two years ago to build
something like 12 (not necessarily affordable) townhomes . The
townhomes have yet to be build because a couple of the property
owners are refusing to sell. Now they're talking about creating
a TIF district just to buy these properties. The Target Center
writ small.
