Impact analysis
The choice between workforce housing and higher-end redevelopment could significantly affect future property tax revenue from the site.
Workforce housing would help entry-level workers; a hotel-centered plan could boost the tax base and regional image.
Taxpayers could lose long-term revenue potential if the prime lakefront property is used for lower-value housing, per the commenter.
