  1. I would like to know who is reviewing the deals for the incentives these cities are giving out. How much money has been wasted (thrown away) because the proper due diligence was not completed? My guess is there were all kinds of red flags in the financials and business plan of this company (Elona). A company just does not go out of business overnight without some shenanigans going on. Politicians have really fallen in love with these pie in the sky deals, at the tax payers expense.

  2. Looking at this, the Greenwood City government played the role of investor with tax payer money into a speculative research project. No neutral input was received from persons with medical research knowledge. Venture capitalist, people who know how to invest and make money, have not put up funds. Basically, the city government is unqualified to make investment decisions...but took and lost millions(13 million on the Elona web page). We need to stop government from being stupid with taxpayer money.

  3. First, the Athenaeum is going to have to get past the hurdle with the Lockerbie residents and the agreement that the parcel would be residential. Second, and in my opinion, this prime piece of property should include parking, PLUS, a black box theater(s), some market rate and affordable artist housing and a plan to renovate and reconfigure the second story theater. I would negotiate to add the DeHaan property surface parking lot into the development mix, place a one story surface parking garage on the DeHaan lot on the street level (for the Dehaan tenants use during the daytime) and add a second story to the garage that would become an addition to the current second story theater and then change the direction of the theater by moving the stage across the alley and on top of the DeHaan lot parking. You can add all the stage elements that are currently missing from the Athenaeum stage to make it more attractive for use by Ballet, Opera and traveling productions. Plus, the theater changes would probably help solve some of the soundproofing issues. Alas,it does not seem to be a part of the strategic plan to conduct a study to determine best use of the property. Seems like the current plan is a quick and easy move that ignores the property best use/potential and any strategic property planning for the effect on future generations.

  4. I recall that MSA's pilings are still in the ground and hard to remove. It’s not likely any proposal will include significant underground construction/parking because of this. Start adding 2 floors of retail, 8 floors of parking and 5-10 floors of possible hotel, and/or 10-20 floors of residential, and you are at 30 floors already with possible expansion of all the uses. But then again I could be wrong.

  5. Accoriding to their website there is no deadline to the Do Not Call list. What is this article referring to??
