Found this statement by Paul Hegg interesting after receiving a TIF, a bulk head, spray park and renovated pedestrian bridge to his Hilton property;
Paul Hegg is one of the hotel’s developers. It’s the first partnership between Lloyd and Hegg companies and it’s a marriage that’s produced one of the most upscale properties in town.Â
“We’re going to be at the higher end because we’re going to be the luxury property in the marketplace, but, yeah it’s going to be an affordable location for people,” Hegg said.
The only oxymoron in Hegg’s statement is the word ‘affordable’. Sure, after property tax breaks and taxpayer funded amentities (in the millions) the place should be cheaper then Motel 6. Once again this proves our planning department and city council’s priorities when it comes to subsidies to the ‘Luxurious’ and ‘Upscale’ people of our community.
