There are some good significant downtown projects going on. Probably the most development since the disaster called urban renewal in the 70s. I'm not worried at all about the delay for the Uptown project. I still would like to see some of the industrial land on the southeast end of Falls Park cleaned up and another project like uptown line that portion of the park.

By the way...the Census Bureau is going to release it's July 1, 2006 numbers late next week. I think it will clearly show some good growth, tho I'm betting the number will still be about 4,000 short of the 146,000 the City projected(midpoint of of 144,000 on 1/1/06 and 148,000 on 1/1/07).

It's doubtful the numbers will accurately show what's been going on in Tea, Harrisburg and Brandon also. I know in Fargo, the Census Bureau always underestimates the growth up there as well (except West Fargo, they picked up on that growth pretty well).
