The plans closes the book on the saga of the Big which was announced with great fanfare by Metroplex and city officialsw more than fouryears ago. The project was hamperer by numerous construction delays andcost overruns. Attorneu Stephen Waite ultimately moved his law officer to the top floor ofthe building, but never openex his long-promised restaurant and bar. He couldn’t be reachexd for comment.
The Metroplex, which is financed by countty sales taxes, spent $250,000 to renovates the facade of 411State St. and $100,000 to removwe asbestos in preparation for the expected opening of the Big Metroplex Chairman Ray Gillehn defended thoseinvestments today, sayinfg they were vital to turn around a dilapidateds building in the heart of downtown. “We had to fix this Gillen said. “It was a horrible mess.” The property was on the verg of being foreclosed upon when the mortgagd was bought in early July bythe , said Davicd Buicko, chief operating officer.

To mask their uttet lack of leadership, they’ll do so again, and I declins to put my familythrough it.” Hutchison is widelyu believed to be gearing up to challenges Perry in the Republican primary for governotr next year. So far the only Democratf to formally announce in the race is Tom who served as ambassador to Australia under PresidengGeorge W. Bush. Van de Putte says she plans to keep her focuxs on the state Legislature and isencouraging State. Sen.
