Sleiman Slays City for Another $3.7 mil for Landing

[jaxlongtimer]

City loses lawsuit against Sleiman and is ordered to pay $3.7 million more for the Landing properties.  If anyone is counting, it seems to me we are over $20 million for the purchase and demolition at this point.

Over and counting. Total incompetence.

By not living up to the city's responsibilities and "saving" the city from paying a few million to repair, update, and maintain the Landing, Curry has squandered close to $20 million.  Good thing he's not one of those "tax and spend Democrats".

Must be a hoax and a witch-hunt

My disgust has passed the point of being registered with words. We are doomed as long as Curry is mayor. What else can he tear down and "f" up?

[jcjohnpaint]

He could go to congress

He could go to congress

This Republican won't be voting for him.

Within a decade Sleiman will buy back The Landing property for pennies on the dollar lol

Is the Landing a prospective site for a Waffle House and a Dollar General?

That would certainly generate traffic

Throw in a liquor store and it'll be a poor man's Vegas...

The city would be on the hook for this money regardless of the demo.

There's cause and effect with everything we do. It wouldn't have been if it would have worked with the owner and kept to the deal that had been arranged under the previous mayoral administration.

At this point, the city should be so lucky. Though he may be soured on the whole site by now and just wants to move on.

How long ago did he buy the parking lot that the city never actually gave him control of? 10 years?
