Parus said the building gives ICL “a fighting chance” at winning in November.
“It gives us a big step forward toward making those larger plans,” Parus said. “If we can convince the folks in November that this is a worthy plan and I think it is. the sky’s the limit after that. We’ll be able to be a presence down here. people will be up and down the street.”
