Steamboat Springs It is unfair for this City Council to bond this community for 10 years to the Atira Group, which undoubtedly would change in structure during that period of time. So will Steamboat. Three years is appropriate (for a vesting period with Ski Time Square redevelopment). If construction has not commenced, we should have a clearer picture of the economy by then and how it affects this project. Perhaps, given the present economy, a 2-year option under approved guidelines can be given - for example, ownership's financial ability and qualifications.

Long live the Tugboat! Give (Atira Group) the 10 years, but require them to allow Ski Corp. to run it as a parking lot and music tent until they break ground.

OMG, 10 years : they should have started building the minute they tore down all the businesses and their livelihood and the vitality of the mountain area.
All I can say is that it is bleak up there. Do you honestly think this will attract tourism? Repeat business?
Our council members should drive through Breckenridge and drool over the vitality of their city. Our mountain area has been disintegrated - rebuilding immediately should be the focus.
