Demo Councilman Opposed To Facelift Plan Sparks Election Debate
Redevelopment of downtown Anderson hinges on the November 2 election as two Democrat Councilmen oppose the plan while business and labor leaders back it. Mayor Flanagan, with GOP and one Democrat support, argues the project will attract private investment, new stores, and possibly a 200 room hotel, countering tax value losses from blighted properties. Councilman Grile supports the project despite concerns over 20 year bond costs, while Councilmen Morris and Orbik vote against, questioning scope and feasibility.
