It’s the other half of some of the sales taxes — which Browne said the city hoped to use to finance some of the $15 million in neighborhood development — that has been called into question.

“Our end, I will say, is moving forward and fine,” Browne said. “Their side of the equation is their side of the equation, unless they make it my issue, and all I can say is the request was economically sound a couple of weeks ago. It is not economically sound today without adjustment.”

The development agreement was expected to receive a final vote last week, but the City Council may not again see the agreement until March as officials and consultants recalculate some of the project’s financials.

City Manager Gregory Rose said the municipality was still focused on making sure $15 million is available for use in the 3rd Ward and along Olive Boulevard.

“We were able to get (investment firm) Stifel Financial to run additional projections for us based on the new financials, and according to Stifel it’s still a very financially viable project for us,” Rose said. “We still will realize a significant benefit if the project moves forward.”
