From the article:

"While not claiming to be the most ardent supporter of the proposed Harrison Square project, Goldner said she believed it was a responsible development that doesn’t cost the property-tax payers of the city any money. The public-private $125 million proposal calls for a new downtown hotel, new shopping, new condominiums and a new city-owned baseball stadium. Goldner said that while people may be opposed to a new baseball stadium, it will serve as an incentive for other development.

“The baseball stadium is the thing that allows everything else to happen,” she said."

Also from the article:

"[Liz] Brown said she is interested in the city and especially downtown development. She said she likes the proposed Harrison Square development, even though she said it is clear the financing for the project is not yet ready"
