Comment on Commentary from Supervisor Pete Livermore: “Let the people vote on the Nugget Project” by Joe Childs
Thank you Mr. Livermore for bringing some sanity to the table!
The Redevelopment Department has been sorely lacking in providing information about this project and I think it’s time they started showing us some specifics.
I’ve scoured the official website and other than reading about how important libraries are, I have been unable to find any projections or even rough guesses as to cost, financing or job creation.
I’ve been to Supervisors meetings, I’ve been to Library Board Meetings, I’ve been to Redevelopment meetings- All I come away with is that if (no, WHEN) we build this project, we will have a “vibrant” downtown, and a vibrant downtown will cure our ails. That is not enough.
Although the Mayor and Board of Supervisors have been tasked with making our town a better place to live, when it comes to a financial decision of this magnitude they MUST allow the residents of Carson City a say.
