This is not to say the proposed development won't go through, but likley only be able to accomodate 9 to 13 stories.

Don't quote me, just what I heard.
Although I do believe this to be a possibility, I hope it is not the case. I think we deserve to have another highrise. Although I want another highrise to be constructed, I think at the same time we cant complain. I think we have an amazing skyline for a city of our size. The only thing I would like to change would be to have more residential downtown, which is the first step to creating more of a night life downtown.
