From the article:

"[Nelson Peters] would support Mayor Graham Richard’s proposed Harrison Square downtown revitalization project, the centerpiece of which is a $30 million baseball stadium, if it proves to be viable economically.

He said he needs to hear final costs and a decision about a third downtown hotel contained in the proposal before making a final decision.

“I’m not interested in replication,” he said.

Kelty agreed downtown needs a shot in the arm but questioned whether Harrison Square is an answer. He said government needs to do a better job of making it easier for companies interested in the city to move here."

UPDATE
Mitch Harper over at Fort Wayne Observed has a new piece about the presentation by the two candidates. Check it out below, audio included! Thanks Mitch.
