This ultimately lies with the mayor. Mayor Ewing has the power to veto the TIF and EEA agreements for the Saddle Creek Marketplace project. If he truly cares about affordability and regular people, he can stop this deal or require that it include real community benefits — affordable housing, food access, and relocation support for the businesses being displaced.
Council Members Begley and Festersen promised those very things to our coalition in a direct meeting. None appeared in the final agreement. The mayor can make it right where they would not. Let him know where you stand.
