Interesting. People had their complaints but I bet she would’ve won re-election. I just want the RAISE projects expedited and some more downtown development fer Christsakes, hopefully her successor can keep us rolling that direction.

The RAISE will be great but it will be way over budget

I don’t expect it to be free but it was still what, $20-25M free fedbucks?

More than any other city in the country.

$25M is the max. Several cities got $25M

The State of New Mexico also got $25M, but I don't see any other cities getting $25M in 2021.

We had a 5M match which is terms of grant. I think project will end up being in the ballpark of $50M

Well, TBD. It’s still, per my napkin math, about $515 of “free” development money per household in the city. The South Commerical extension in particular I think could do a lot for the south mill yard.

The project will be amazing, it's just at a higher cost.

Can't wait til the south Willow intersection with Queen City Ave is fixed too
