The district came paired with the sprint center and brought people to our downtown during non peak hours and gave our city a "living room" for city gatherings. That started a snowball effect and got us a streetcar starter line and now most of this development is being spurred by that.

that was a HIGHLY condensed version of the story but you get it.
