The private developer updated councilmen on a proposal to build a 20 – acre operation next to the Special Olympics complex at the rock quarry on Christy Drive.  The $16 – million project would include a hotel, retail space, offices and several restaurants. There’s also a proposal to build a soccer complex at the site. The developer is asking for tax breaks for the site.
