City Mall

Just saw the score spread between Crestwood and Jackson Square.
I believe there is plenty of space available and Jackson Sq would be not that much of a change commute wise or existing parking.
Just a thought, but they used City Mall while City Hall was being prepared, so many it would suffice as office space seeing it was good enough for many city Depts.
With downtown development maybe some employees would even consider condos for a walk to work.
We need businesses downtown for networking and coordination.
Between Jackson Sq (Standard Life) and City Mall there is plenty of room.
And the Farmers Market would be a nice lunch time stroll all indoors rain or shine.
Let them have thensq footage for peanuts just for the spin-off business.
Maybe the Board of Ed could pull a Lister block and renovate over time a block of historical buildings.
Lastly as another option get them as a resident of the recent vacant West Harbour land. Instead of commercial. At least at first.
