You hit the nail on the head, but if you build it, will they come?
Which is to say, even if a company like AT&T (or Google, or Pfizer,
or what-have-you) were to build an office in AP, how many local
parents would get jobs there? What about the single parents of kids
in 1st grade at Bradley or Marshall now? Would the presence of an
office tower automatically mean that those parents would be working
there and, subsequently, more deeply involved in their kids' academic
lives in seven years?
Not that AP shouldn't be trying to lure companies to invest in town
(I think we already discussed the potential for a tech corridor
downtown in a thread a while back), but as you point out, there are
some things you can't put a $ value on.
