Not if a CRL funds the infrastructure and clean up. I think it was about 100 million for clean up plus 300 million in infrastructure.

The issue will be how much of a property tax discount you have to give to attract Amazon and if given the size of the CRL that doesn't leave enough money to do all of the infrastructure.

The good news is you aren't spending 800 million on a building that generates no tax so the numbers at a minimum work out better than CalgaryNext.
