Actually, it is interesting to note that while the commissioners felt like they were trying to help the project, the Hammes Company views this as a defeat.

Why don't you post CNI's "rally the troops" email? Oh that's right they're too old to use email. And of course the only one everyone wants to make look bad is the "evil developer".

ReplyDeleteNeighborhood Meeting on Edgewater Proposal

Downtown Neighborhood Meeting
Proposed Redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel
Thursday, February 4, 2010 - 7:00 p.m.
Madison Area Technical College Downtown Education Center, Room D240

You are invited to learn about and give feedback on a revised proposal by Hammes Company to redevelop/renovate the Edgewater Hotel. The proposed project would restore the current hotel, remove the top level of the 1973 hotel addition to create a 35,500-square-foot traffic circle and landscaped terrace, and construct a 14-story hotel addition (of which eight stories would be above grade) on the east side of the property. The entire project would include approximately 190 hotel rooms.
This went out to TLNA, EINPC and JMP

Scarey, eh?
p.s. "Evil Developer"?
ReplyDeleteMakes me laugh, its always the developers who use that term. Why do they feel the need to use that descriptor? I'm pretty sure I never used that term.
No you just describe them that way.
ReplyDeleteExamples please.
ReplyDeleteWhat about a developer who strings along the Urban Design Commission for months with regard to DNR approval for his dock plans?
ReplyDeleteSanta Claus or evil?
