Councilor Ness asked a great question last night at the meeting. This question came do to one of the speakers comments on ordinance 60. She noted the tech village as a failer to the city.
Councilor Ness asked, why people keep bringing that up as a failer to the city of Duluth?
Now I am not sure that I consider that building as a failer however I see how some people could feel that way.
The big reason that I think a lot of people see the building as a failer is because it has not developed into the tech villiage it was intended to be. With a huge job creatation in tech fields.
The tech villiage has changed it objective at least three times that I am aware of.
I don't think most people feel the colleges putting computer labs in the villiage are a benifit to the city. The fact is the colleges would have put these some were on campuse is they did not put them in the villiage.
Here is why the building is ( could be considered) a success.
The building is full with businesses. They may not be what people expect but at least the building is just about full.
The building is newer and looks a heck of a lot nicer then most down there currently, because of that it brings in some business to all of downtown. There are people going to the building to use what it offers and work as well.
What are you thoughts? Do you consider the tech villiage as a failer or not?
