Impact analysis
Consultants say the project should recoup the city's costs through TIF over 20-30 years, and more units could generate extra tax revenue for public space.
Downtown revitalization supporters, future residents and hotel guests, and taxpayers if TIF projections hold.
Residents who opposed the density or wanted the land preserved may see the plan advance despite their objections.
