Comments about ‘Davis school board to spend more time considering Legacy Crossing tax proposal’

The concerns of Davis School Board members seem valid, but where are the true urban planning voices on this matter. What long term economic plans and economic feasibility plans have their been, whose run the numbers? Why is it the School Board and not County or City government and their economic planners raising these same questions? We can't have two major theater chains competing can we? The two Layton theater chains are aleady going head to head movie to movie for the same target population. The School District can't afford to give up property taxes that go to education for a possible failed commercial venture.

I live in Woods Cross and I have been looking forward to the Legacy Crossing project ever since it was announced! I think that it will be a boon to the area, and even though the Station Park project in Farmington is on track, both entities feel like their projects are viable and can co-exist with each other. I don't think that it is up to a governmental entity to declare that they are going to succeed or fail. That is a decision made by the two projects in question once they've done their feasability studies. That is the American way. I for one welcome them both, and will support both!

I, too, say NO. Too many theaters too close. In the long run, one of these theater complexes or both will close.
