I am not sure I get the governments position on this whole affair. The East End area, including the area around the Ritz is pretty commercial already - what exactly are they going to stop here? This project would create a lot of jobs, tax revenues, etc. If the infrastructure (water, sewer, etc.) can support it, what is the problem with the development? The Ritz is already a behemoth, and the rest of the area, the condos around the now defunct Seafood Jungle, etc. is in pretty bad shape. Saving Lindqvist Beach was good, and hopefully the government can properly develop that into a safe destination - but this one I am not so sure about.
