The catalyst needed is the infrastructure to be built in the area. That will come when the city determines the area is needed. Its not needed right now.

Two things:
1.) It's not 400 million, it's 200 million. And the 200 million was going towards a fieldhouse they were going to do anyways.
2.) Opinions like yours is exactly why WV has never been re-developed. Nothing is "needed". It can just sit as a crappy piece of land for the next 50 years if people want it to. No one is going to magically come into that area and make it all nice without the city footing part of the bill. That's just the reality.
