CalgaryNEXT in the WV is a terrible idea from that standpoint. Comically bad. Turd sandwich. ***insert further hyperbole***
a) Put it where the existing fairgrounds infrastructure exists and the current entertainment areas are nearby.
b) Put it closer to the EV to help its build out instead of on the other side and harvesting EV demand.
c) Just say no to a big box on what will one day be a beautiful prime piece of riverfront real estate next to downtown.

Fair enough. I don't think you are correct in your assessment of the infrastructure, or the effect on EV (and WV). IMO WV is never going to happen without a kickstart from a major project. And the riverfron eral estate? The city won't do the enviromental cleanup without a development. Developers won't move to do any kind of residential project without a cleanup. The city is hig=ding its head in the sand on the creosote issue.
