Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 4315661, member: 720"] I think it’ll do fine as a regional attraction. That being said, it probably won’t de well enough to justify the $85M cost, which will probably balloon to $100M+ and I’m not even sure what’s in that number. Is it just for construction of the facility? What about marine life purchases? Annual upkeep? Who is going to maintain it? The county? Will a non-profit be needed to help with costs, like the zoo? I’ve been fairly ambivalent about this project because of this. It’ll be great to add some positive development to the inner harbor area and I do think it will be a nice asset in the city, but is it really worth the investment when there are dozens of other things that could probably be done with that money? One thing I will say is at least that money is being invested in the city and not in say, Clay. [/QUOTE]
