WHO IS CARTESIAN COMPANY? Follow the $$$$ Where is Ac Outreach getting the capital for this? Who's bankrolling this? Were bids required? With all the HUD manure going around, this project stinks to high Heaven too. I'm betting the someone who wants community support is really much more interested in the return on their investment. I don't like the idea of this big "project" downtown either. Its still way too big. Taxpayers have paid millions to revitalize downtown Laf. The library is set for revitalization. Citizens have spent untold hours, and a lot of unappreciated effort, to get downtown in the good shape its in. And some genius wants a "project" downtown??? "Projects" don't have good reputations or histories for IMPROVING the areas they're built in. So its for money. Be honest about it. Someone stands to make millions & millions & its not for the good of the area, the citizens or even, the people who will be housed there. So, I'd like to know WHO'S REALLY GUNNA BENEFIT FROM THIS??? I'd love to know if we'd recognize any names from other housing endeavors.... - Youknow...

I think we have more to worry about with the future I-49 off ramp at Congress that will blow through the area. - Unempirical Observer Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:20:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7799-lemoine-tapped-for-joie-de-vivre#comment-14975 The Joie de Vivre project would do better to improve or replace existing structures. Instead we get just another housing project. - James Melancon Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:04:12 +0100
