The city of Ashland did something similar several years ago (AFN) with
help from locals agreeing to a food a services sales tax plus a small
property tax to help cover expenses. It quickly spun out of financial
manageability but I haven't read up on it in a couple of years to hear

Another follow up on that with regards to the cost comment. Yes, it's

I think this this is a great initiative and could be the next
"Mississippi project" (in a different neighborhood of course). Why
