Not one word about finding new industry providing many and new sustainable jobs to come here as quickly as possible just more Van Dusen driven do-nothing BS.

What about "The Flavel Properties" downtown being put on the table for final resolution as to their future?

Save "The Other Flavel House" immediately!!

And by the way, leave the "Garden of Surging Waves" exactly where it was planned to be located...the historic center of "China Town" down on 9th Street where it is most accessable and can be enjoyed from "The River Walk".
