There has been some really good discussion here on this topic. Much of the information about the history, the deals, the players and the current situation is pretty spot on - as I can tell. I encourage everyone to continue these discussions and show up at the city meetings and let your voice be (officially) heard.
I'm privy to much of the dealings of this topic being involved with the city, the WRA and the boardwalk. All I can say is that I believe the city is doing a great job holding I-Star accountable; I-Star is making the right moves and taking this seriously (considering that they were simply lenders to Asbury Partners just a short time ago); and Madison Marquette seems to be choosing to be part of the solution instead of the problem - which hasn't always been the case. I'm not sure of the decisions our outcome of the court date this last Thursday but I'm very hopeful that the city and these companies can find common ground to (finally) come together in a collaborative effort and realize the enormous potential, both economically and culturally, of our blighted beach front.
