Slow down, Park City
With not being able to comment on an electronic article anymore, I guess this is my next best option and I hope others will read this and ask City Hall to put the brakes on demolishing the buildings to clear the way for the planned arts and culture district.
With the fate of the entire arts and culture district up in the air due to soaring costs and other issues, why is Park City going to spend another dime on this property? Yes, I understand that someday the property will be developed and demolition will be necessary, but why not wait and see what direction that is and then let the demolition be paid for by the company that is doing the development? In the meantime, please bring back the Maverick (oops, gas tanks already gone) and Anaya’s Market.
