The Civic District

I think we'll see the city start looking at a lot of their vacant land and issuing RFP's. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

It would, but it would be a huge turnaround from the "vision" of the past half century (almost) for what's now known as the Civic District. If there were a shift to private development, it would need to incorporate public amenities, like a small concert venue or a small theatre. If the private sector wanted to bear the cost, it could be an attractive option.
