Park Board's Plans For Riverfront Boom?
There's a big boom on the riverfront going on, with millions of dollars being spent and made in profit. The Park Board has a current project to landscape a half-mile riverside stretch above St. Anthony Falls. The Park Board master plan calls for reclamation and landscaping of both sides of the river to the city limits above the falls, according to this article in the Star Tribune.
Ignoring for a moment that the Park Board does not even own some of the riverfront property (the city does), some developers and real estate brokers will be made wealthy by such decisions by the Park Board. Will these be similar to the decision to buy the HQ building, made behind the public's back, wasteful of taxpayer dollars and favoring an insider?
