Surprised this didn't get posted earlier. The Broderick has received tax credits of $7 million for renovation. According to the article this is but one step of many to go before renovation can start. Never the less it is a big step. I'm surprised that John Gallagher, who is usually a very good journalist, didn't give details on what type of tax credits were given. That's very unlike him. http://freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll /article?AID=/20060920/BUSINES S04/609200315 |

I didn't like the whales on the side of the building. It's nice that somebody paid attention to the building, but the building was great with out the mural on it. |

Beats the hell out of a Jeep ad. Plus, I really thought they were neat when viewed from inside CoPa. |

I agree with you about that. Do you know if they are going to keep advertising on the building after the renovation project, or will it just be a giant brick wall? |
