I heard on WOSH this morning and read in the ONW that Mr Rikker reported to the RDA that they may not make the end of year deadline on value/construction due to lack of interest or commitment from potential tenants. He stated that he is "in this for the long run" and that they continue to pursue potential occupants so that this project can move forward.
I, like many, thought that this project would make a wonderful addition to Downtown Oshkosh. Now we need to hope that it actually becomes a reality. Mayor Tower suggests that any renegotiation of the deadline is not a sure thing and that if there is no construction by the end of the summer, the Council would need to visit the possibility of another project.
I still think that there is a lot of potential in this project. I think we should give Akcess Acquisition Group at least an initial extension. After all, we granted extensions to Doig for his mess that failed miserably.
What are your opinions?

We gave Doig an extension and he wasted our time and money. Now you're suggesting that we do the same with the next snake oil salesman?
I see in the paper today that Truck Corp. is going to spend between 8-9 million dollars to build office space. Now if they Truck won't come to the "Access" office building, who the hell is?!
