I'm a little pessimistic
I'm a little pessimistic about this project. I feel the City of Alcoa is way over their heads with this project, financially and vision.
In 2008 there was an announcement to develop this site and create a downtown for the City of Alcoa.
In 2012 there were open houses to show what was happening with the West Plant site and to hear citizens voice their opinions.
In 2014 Alcoa's city manager and others were soooo excited to have Sam's Club be the first step toward building this development only to find out Sam's Club isn't coming after all. Never thought Sam's Club fit it into an new urbanist environment, but what do I know.
Whatever, I'll probably go to the meeting. Maybe something will happen this time. I would like to find out how to identify the parts of the West Plant contaminated with hazardous waste. Do you think they will tell me that at this meeting?
It would be interesting

if they refuse to answer a direct question about it.
