To be honest, I have NO idea. I am not well informed in terms of the MGM RDP. I happen to remember about that link in a different thread, so I went looking for it to post it here for you. I get that some people have concerns about not having a gradual transition from high rises to low rises, and why they would oppose development because of THAT, but I don't see how you can look at LMM Blvd and not agree it is a road and area ripe for development and which can withstand what amounts to a mid rise building. The area in question consists of an auto body shop, a car rental agency, two bars, and a sorry pizzeria. The streets are desolate and traffic is heavy/congested. A mid rise, with ground floor retail or commercial space, would do WONDERS for the area.

Cool thanks. So it's only two blocks to be redeveloped, correct? Any sort of timeline yet?

MGM RDP

Does anybody have any details on what exactly the MGM redevelopment plan is? What is the vision for it?
