Site clean-up: Yes, but ultimately I'm liable for this already. This shouldn't be factored into the NEXT project (a sunk cost). If anything, as this property is not earning any property taxes, the sooner the site is remediated and generating taxes the better off I am.
Fieldhouse: Yes, but I'm liable for this cost either way as the city will be contributing this amount regardless of the NEXT project.

So how, as a taxpayer am I worse off with this project?

Great post, I fully agree (and thanks are turned off)
