I fought it before the walls came down, but at least they agreed to make the new facilities mixed use, or until the 
economy took a turn! This article done by fox news shows how the owner of the property is being forced to complete what he started but now with exceptions that allow him to half the project. The important component to a mixed use development is the apartment complex that the city is now allowing him to get away with not building. Basically the area has been reduced to a lousy strip mall. The owner was quoted as saying "the project will go up in phases," I just hope that the city has the tenacity to stick to their guns and set a time frame that includes the housing in the phases!
