CdA To Ask LCDC For McEuen $$$

The city of Coeur d'Alene's Parks Department is expected to request financial support Wednesday from Lake City Development Corp. for the McEuen Park redevelopment project. Parks Director Doug Eastwood and Team McEuen are scheduled to make a presentation on the downtown park project and request financial support before the urban renewal agency at 4 p.m. in the Community Room of the Coeur d'Alene Public Library, LCDC director Tony Berns said. The urban renewal agency has long been identified as a likely financial supporter for the project, though a formal request has yet to come. In June, the agency borrowed $16.75 million, $11.7 million of which it could use to fund projects inside the Lake District, the boundary in which McEuen Field sits/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press.

Question: Do you see anything wrong with LCDC pumping up to $11.7 million into McEuen Field upgrades?
