I am sure everyone thinks the old annex site is a gold mine even  with the condos next door available on the cheap. I say don't tear it down without something concrete in the works for the site.

Publix will be moving forward with their San Marco Square site in another year or so.

Do you have any details about this?  I've heard rumblings, but nothing that would lead me to believe it is imminent.

I dont know why he keeps referecing a movie theatre or grocery store Downtown. Just focus on the Trio and get it done!

The Library (old Haydon Burns library) is a far, far, far less expensive project, is further along in planning, and is much more viable. Doesn't hurt that it's a relatively successful downtown location, either.

Needs a mill or two.

All good points, but the Trio has a limited life span in it's current condition, it seems.  Time is running out, so something needs to happen soon.
