“I’m very, very disappointed,” Councilman Dave White said. “I have no confidence the office will ever get built. I think you’re going to dumb it down and essentially going to put an industrial area right next to a residential area. That’s not what we promised those people.”

Project incentives previously were approved; they include $2.6 million in tax increment financing and $3.1 million from a special sales tax.
