It likely buys you another year.

The new city committee has two months to report back to council on potential options. That will likely identify potential additional partners who want to get involved. This will likely lead to a new deal being negotiated through the spring and summer and a new deal being finalized in the fall.

Since the development permit is already approved and the building is shovel-ready (I don't believe the collapse of the financing deal should change any of that), ground-breaking can go ahead once the new deal is signed, and we're likely looking at a 2025 opening instead of 2024... assuming all the supply-chain nonsense gets sorted out this year and material prices stabilize.
