Of course it could be a blessing in disguise and combined with the improvement of 22nd street be a piece in revitalizing southern downtown (north of 22nd) where a lot of the historic Tucson charm resides.

I think this is a good spot for another Gem show exhibition center, there's a lot of room for infill in this part of downtown and really connects the southern corridor to downtown. It's only a 15 minute walk from 22nd to Broadway, 10th Ave/Main to 22nd are on the bus line, etc. I think that this could really enhance the Southern Gateway to the City.
