More Info: Engineers and officials detailed the impact - both financial and motor - of a redeveloped McEuen Field Friday, bringing into focus possible ramifications and hard numbers should the downtown park’s multi-million conceptual plan be built out. First things first, the first phase of construction is expected to cost around $17.2 million. Doug Eastwood, parks director said the city could have around $15.6 million in revenue already secured “That’s where we are today,” he said. “There’s always the possibility when we send it out to bid” it comes back cheaper than anticipated.

Question: What do you think of plans to work out deals with the Idaho Transportation Departments and Duane Hagadone to possibly move the boat launch east toward the Beachouse Restaurant?
