Our city does not have an endless supply of money. The project as presented for the Park over GA 400 is far from being half ass or a reject project. I would gladly welcome it and would do so with higher taxes to support it.
As you may know, these projects vary in their sponsor: some are public, some private, varying jurisdictions, and some may receive federal and state funding, grants, and/or private contributions. Not a true apples-to-apples comparison; however, the market, lending restrictions and ability the put together full funding packages (not just taxes) will determine if any or all of these projects come to fruition.
