What he should of said that staff should have never agreed to tear up an re-word the General Plan including allowing a hospital an essential business to built in a flood plane. I think residents was finally given a chance to voice their disapproval’s. The one thing that troubles me that affects the entire city is allowing to tear down a community strip mall that would set precedents. CNU could move forward to the Council but there best bet is to listen to consultants about working with the city to find a better suitable location. The Mayor’s business commission would be a great tool to re-establish businesses into Stonelake Landing. It could turn out to be a game of chests as CNU was banking on Ly to be their savior.

A real political test to see if they stand with voters or lobbyist.

I figured the Commission would put potential tax revenue over all other concerns and approve the project despite its major flaws, most notably the proposed build in the flood plain. This fact alone is reason enough for the Council to also deny the project at this site. Should this area have a levee breach (only 2nd to New Orleans in likelihood), access to that hospital would be limited to helicopter and boat. - So much for use in a flood emergency.<br />I see this facility project as half baked. I'm afraid once building begins the financing may dry up for any myriad of reasons and we'll have another "ghost mall " on the west side of town.<br />Add that Gary Davis is involved and I'm very reticent of supporting this project at all. We can wait for Dignity and their well earned track record.Steve Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258093636767338830noreply@blogger.com
