I'm glad to see more riverfront condos coming to the metro even if they are across the river. Maybe this will prove that you can build taller buildings and not have 300 apartments spread out over hundreds of acres. Cities build up, not always out. I'm curious as to why Columbus is not reaping as many benefits with new projects and plants as are Auburn / Opelika and now Phenix City. Is our government aggressively pursuing industries, hotels, etc. For years, I've tried to pull a major professional conference away from Augusta, but have been unsuccessful because we don't have a hotel large enough to accommodate it. We could use the Marriott, but then you have the extra cost of using the Convention Center. The conference did move out of Augusta a couple of years ago to the Cobb Galleria. That contract is now up and I'm doing what I can to encourage them to consider Columbus. We've got to do something to shed the "little" city attitude.
