Who knows at this point the who and the what of the quality of the entertainers etc. and how their or the strength of drawing power will draw the potential of revenue to be a profitable venture?
In this time of “COVID-19” it would be wise to hold the cards and money. Look at what has happen to entertainment, recreation, and the other business commerce mentioned now.
Carmel government really seems to have jumped the shark this week.
To clarify – Music festivals and suing other cities seems to be an odd focus.
With the significant cost over run of the Hotel project amid declining business income, declining income from sales tax and other reductions in revenue, the City had better quit spending right now and pay attention to responsible needs of the citizens and community. That has been the problem all along with continual spending wherein things were on the up but these expenditures are going to land squarely on the taxpayers and need to be stopped now. Why did they just spend multi millions on a roundabout at Range line and Carmel drive just a short time ago, and now went back in and reconstructed it again duplicating cost. Not only the expense, but closing streets when business is trying to recover from this shut down and the city is closing streets. 96th street is once again closed and has been now for over a month and half. Businesses are suffering enough. The city is wasting money, and this project is a prime example of not caring about taxpayers, but wanting to showcase.
These projects didn’t happen overnight, they have been planned on for months if not years. Just looking for something to complain about?
Brainard has never done a project for what he initially said it would cost, usually over by 50%+ at a minimum. There is never a full accounting of spend either. If history is a teacher we have already committed money and it will be a choice of go forward or lose it
Just another lie coming from the mayor. In 2000 he told the Carmel Redevelopment Commission that he had talked with Steve and Tomisue Hilbert and they were going to create and fund an endowment that would support the expected annual operating deficit of The Palladium only to find out from them directly that he had not even spoken to them about it. Then in the spring of 2007, while running for re-election in the primary, he repeatedly told the citizens of Carmel that he could complete the design and re-construction of Keystone Ave with the $90M being provided by the State as “deferred maintenance”, only to ask the City Council a few months later, after the election, for a $50M bond to complete the construction of Keystone Ave. How about the International Arts Festival championed by the mayor as a “community funded event” that used City employees on City time to help with planning and fundraising (ghost employment) only to have its $450k operating deficit later covered by a City Council appropriation? The truth is: Nothing proposed or promoted by Mayor Brainard should be taken as it’s presented. There will ALWAYS be a back story and fiscal deficit to come.
Hmmm……if only there was already an internationally renowned film festival close by. Like maybe even in Indy……that has been running for 29 years now. Wait, why don’t you just drive a little bit and support the Heartland International Film Festival in Indpls – you don’t have to have Everything yourselves in Carmel, do you….could help support existing arts organizations? Would save the City of Carmel a lot of money too!
