But, why touch it until 1. USAC's fate is determined-- ideally, it stays and the garage is replaced by mixed-use but for now, the deadzone is unbearable
2. moves are made on the northern side; the buildings west of Dudley were purchased ages ago... get a bar going next door, pedestrian plaza along Central, and small retailers in the old storefronts
IOW, Jackson is dead. Why bother right now?
