The City-County Council is set to vote Monday evening on whether to allow the city to issue $98 million in bonds to finance
a portion of the $155 million North of South hotel-retail-residential project planned for downtown.
The financing package for the controversial development is up for council consideration following a 7-0 endorsement from its
Economic Development Committee on Friday.
Committee members met late Friday afternoon after they canceled their regularly scheduled meeting last Wednesday due to the
weather.
Members approved capping the interest rate on the bonds at 6.5 percent. The original rate was set at 8.5 percent.
Committee members also agreed to give the council authority to review the city’s involvement in the project after the
development gets started if there are substantial changes in financing.
Locally based Buckingham Cos. is leading the development, set to be built on 14 acres of land owned by Eli Lilly and Co.—now
home to a parking lot north of South Street between Delaware Street and Virginia Avenue.

Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.

The Prestige was a great flick.

Larry - even though the race is on ABC, ESPN does all of the work, so that is why ESPN is mentioned. Most sports on ABC are called something like "ESPN on ABC."
