No Costco is a large retailer new to BR lining up with the people in EBR who helped them get a huge tax break.
Costco was, in effect, reimbursed for the infrastructure improvements they needed to build such as the roads around their new location plus for the cost of tearing down the old Coca-Cola building. For that one-time tax reimbursement, Costco will provide 250 new, permanent jobs.
quote:And you're an expert on all the prices of all the property which Costco could have bought and you know for a fact that there was property within the city limits acceptable to Costco? Wow, you're pretty damn smart!
If it was important for them to be in the city, then they would have bought property inside the city. They didn't.

LOL
Costco is slated to open any time now.
If it was so important to be in the city don't you think they'd have petitioned the city to do it when they first bought the property?
But who cares? Like I said, I'm for letting everyone choose. Let Westminister, Jefferson Terrace, Sheanandoah, Hickory Ridge, Gardere, Lake and White Oak all in the city if they want to be in.
If they want to be in their own city, let them vote for that.
I'm not trying to shove anything down people's throats. I'm for letting people vote.
