MIC musings

Went to the MIC site and found it very interesting. From the looks of it around 50-60% of that land is already designated for the MIC, with additional land earmarked for "additional development". Wonder who will own that land once its developed? The State? The developers? Who? there MUST be somebody who knows the answer to these questions, right? Who is it? The County? The state? Its still a relatively small piece of property with a LOT of questions attached that wont be answered anytime soon. If, as the City Manager said, the County has been "losing hundreds of thousands of dollars for years" on area 9, why would want it? We already have PLENTY of money-losing projects in our boundaries now- CC addition, the bathrooms, the pool, paid utilities for Santana, and the golf course, to name a few of the more egregious recent disasters. Each debacle mentioned cost us AT least 100k in cost overruns, change orders, and questionable judgements; some cost as much as 400k. None were brought in anywhere close to deadline (by YEARS) and ALL were AT least 300-800 % over usual and customary Dade County construction costs. SOMEBODY has to be held accountable for these series of ongoing disasters and that someone is the City Manager, as they ALL happened on his watch and under his theoretical supervision.
