Why? They're just looking to reduce their tax burden.

The stakes are raised.

If St. George moves forward (big if), it is now a necessity that it begin to build its tax base. That means retail development that is in direct competition to the mall and other BR companies.

Historically, new retail development destroys old retail development. Also, malls are dying and large department stores are moving towards stand alone buildings. There is a real chance that not only will the mall be competing for customers (with an entire city that is opposed to supporting the mall) but also competing for retail companies to fill the space.

The path is tough for St. George. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to take on the challenge.
