History says the movie studio will fail<\/a>\u00a0was published\u00a0in May. \u00a0 There were a number of reasons evident\u00a0in 2012 that should have cast doubt on this\u00a0project and prevented Park City from approving the studio. \u00a0At this point we would be remiss if we didn\u2019t remind everyone how your City Council voted on this project:<\/p>\nAndy Beerman \u2013 Against<\/p>\n
Alex Butwinski \u2013 For<\/p>\n
Cindy Matsumoto \u2013 For<\/p>\n
Dick Peek \u2013 Against<\/p>\n
Liza Simpson \u2013 For<\/p>\n
The Park City\u00a0Planning Commission actually voted against it but that didn\u2019t stop the City Council from moving forward. \u00a0Oops.<\/p>\n
Ericksen says this is only a temporary stoppage and that work will begin\u00a0again in the \u201cnext couple weeks\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s just say we are still doubtful that this project will turn into a success.<\/p>\n
That leaves us hoping that Park\u00a0City was smart enough to limit uses for this parcel of land. If the movie studio doesn\u2019t work, it would stand to reason a developer would want to sell it for another use. \u00a0We hope those possibilities don\u2019t include a Family Dollar, a Motel 6, and a Souper Salad. We won\u2019t hold our breathe, though.<\/p>\n
It hasn\u2019t been a good couple of weeks\u00a0for Park City government. \u00a0We thank them for\u00a0the bang up job they are doing\u00a0and are looking\u00a0forward to dining at the Sizzler\u00a0before our next softball game across the street at Quinn\u2019s Junction.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong>\u00a0We’ve heard word from a couple of people that the workers were sent home a week or more ago due to lack of funds. The city says work stopped September 9. Why haven’t we heard about this before?<\/p>\n
