[edit] Points in Favor
Largest county in US without a performing arts hall. Will bring a minimum of $24M to Collin County economy. This is a public/private project that is a collaborative effort of the 3 largest cities in Collin County with the fourth soon to join. Other smaller cities are also involved as member cities as opposed to owmer cities. There is no performing arts hall in this county and is what is lacking to really upgrade the quality of life and attract new businesses.
[edit] Points Against
How does this project differ from the WPA projects of the 30's that did nothing to stimulate an ecomonic recovery in the great depression. Can we not learn from history?
