Issue: CdA council approves Kroc center deal: Land swap gives city a building site/Hope Brumbach, Spokesman-Review

More Info: The land, valued at about $1 million, will be transferred to the Salvation Army through an agreement with the Coeur d’Alene Parks Foundation, an independent nonprofit organization. In exchange, the city will receive about 9 acres of nearly equal value off of Prairie Avenue that is owned by the foundation. City officials say the arrangement escapes church-state conflicts, an issue that has raised concern with other projects across the country.

Question: Do you have a problem with this deal?
