I dont wany any public money going to the stadium
But if they are redeveloping the other 70% of that land for hotels, stores, restaurants, offices, condos , Im okay with tax breaks for a while as the benefit to the area in jobs and tax base will FAR OUTWEIGH that.
You need to separate the stadium from the rest of the proposed development. Apples and oranges.
right now that land is generating basically little to no tax revenue. No one is working there and its basically farmland as is. Whoever develops it , if not the Bears, will get some sort of financial incentive to do it in a way to create all kinds of jobs and increased real estate tax base
