Quote:Someone is going to need to take ownership of the place.  They'll be strapped with demolishing the building to make way from something else.  I would imagine that if the Shipyards project ramps up and starts to become a reality, there will be contractors looking at that as an opportunity to get on board. The land there is large enough to accommodate something like a new convention center or an aquarium, or more housing. 

 

Possibilities are endless. Would be great to eventually see it expand to the Landing, then maybe see the skyway expanded to go along the river, stadium, baseball/arena, Landing, etc. Heck, make the skyway go down Main street up to 8th street and really start a movement of getting people to move to springfield where they can truly live, work, and play without ever crossing the bridge.
