Impact analysis
A $1 billion investment is claimed, but speakers noted SB 2001 tax exemptions and only about 12–20 jobs would leave the city with minimal recurring revenue.
The developer and any construction-phase workers would benefit if the rezoning is approved.
Nearby neighborhoods, the Wormworks farm, schools, and ratepayers would absorb environmental, utility, and quality-of-life costs.
