It will definitely create some jobs and may have a small impact on the local economy, but there is no guarantee that it will have anything more then a minimal impact. It could, in a worse case scenario, become a cost borne by taxpayers due to ongoing maintanence costs.
There is alot of hype around this project and experience tells me that, when something is hyped; it usually is a dud. Take NEW Coke for one of many many many flops. We just need to fully aware of all the possibilities, good and bad.
