No they are trying to develop that whole part of DT that is undevelopable without this project. Being a good corporate citizen means chipping in your fair share OR building a hotel to serve the F1/SxSW contingent that isn't in the floodplain. The city should have implemented a TIF scheme instead since this is not a minor project.
