Even if the land needs to be redeveloped it carries a $30million value, that does not change.
The city collects property taxes anyways, thats how the city is funded, generally.

I really wish the idiots in Edmonton did not do the deal they did for their arena, now the Flames want a similar deal. What they can do with the property taxes is give the Flames a break on it. If you look at the deal as a whole it is a bad deal for the Flames.
