At Least Somebody Had a Good Year in 2008

By: Mr. Wilson on January 9, 2009
Not everybody ended 2008 with negative news. The Lancaster Events Center showed healthy income and profits for the year, and they begin 2009 with at least one event booked every weekend through the year. Not surprisingly, then, development in that area of 84th Street is continuing. The Ag Society chose Hampton Enterprises to develop a hotel and related businesses at 84th and Havelock. I wonder, does that good news make a 2009 vote on the proposed Haymarket arena more or less likely, or does it not affect the vote at all?

I doubt it effects the vote at all. An arena and a bunch of horse barns attract different events. I’ll probably never go to the events center but I’d go to the arena all the time. Now the the convention center is out of the Haymarket proposal it seems like they are playing to totally different constituencies.
