An expanded marina, a Cherry Street “promenade” and a Moran Plant transformed into an aquatics center or, alternately, a space for food, galleries and “makers” were among nine infrastructure-improvement proposals outlined at a Burlington City Council session on Monday.
It was another step in a waterfront development process that began early this year and will culminate in a vote on Town Meeting Day in March. A five-member Public Investment Team of planners, architects and developers winnowed 50 proposals submitted to the city last April to the current crop of nine, which Burlington residents can review at a series of five open houses starting next week.

I’m not an expert, but if the money is allegedly to be repaid by anticipated future property tax receipts how can spending the money on something like the Parks Department’s Marina plan lead to any future property taxes? It would be a City owned building right? So, no taxes. I must be missing something here.
