Another example of top down bureaucracy. I guess there was some chance that their idea for the lease space may have worked. But it was so small as to be non existent. Why can’t bureaucrats understand a basic truth. When they get together to decide what can go in the lease space, there are hundreds if not thousands of choices of what type of business that could go in. The odds that they choose the correct one is minuscule. One in ten thousand, maybe. On the other hand their request might read:

“Caldwell Urban Renewal Agency seeks interested parties to lease a (fill in the blank) business in the TVCC Building. We promise not to burden you with stupid, bureaucratic regulations and we promise to let you run your business as you see fit”

This way there will be a higher chance of success. It still sucks that the CURA is involved in this venture, but this way it might make the best of a bad situation.
