While we recognize the need to address this important and sensitive issue, we believe the City should slow the process to fully evaluate the impacts this type of facility will have on other downtown properties, and to allow meaningful input from the many stakeholders invested in the long-term vitality of downtown.
As we continue private discussions with stakeholders, we will have no further public comment and will not participate in media interviews at this time.
