I knew Burlington had a height limit but I didn't know it was 60 feet! That's nuts. But about the project, I think it would do good to the city for it to be built.

LOCAL UPDATE: Waterfront development
WHAT IS IT? Main Street Landing Co. proposed a three-story, 85,000-square-foot building at the intersection of College and Lake streets in 2001.
ISSUES: The project was stalled due to opposition from residents of a neighboring condominium, who said the building would block lake views. The Vermont Environmental Board rejected the argument and the project was fully cleared in November.
DETAILS: The building will contain a restaurant, retail shops, office space and a movie theater on the first and second floors. A sculpture garden, greenhouse and coffee shop will make up the third floor. The building will sit on a 56-car parking garage, and will include 18,000 square feet of new park land, according to Main Street Landing redeveloper Melinda Moulton.
Original plans for the project included a 35-room inn, but the tenant fell through in late 2001 due to the post-Sept. 11 economy. The planned size of the inn made finding a replacement difficult. "We could have given up the performing arts piece and made the whole thing an inn but the performing arts center is so important," Moulton said in a 2003 Free Press story.
COST: The complex will cost $11.5 million.
WHAT'S NEW: The project is under construction and is expected to open in July 2005. "Presently we are constructing our foundation walls. Steel erection is soon to follow in early March, and this summer the brick and stone work will be under way," Moulton said in an e-mail.
The company is hoping to obtain a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certificate from the Green Building Council. The certification recognizes high-performance sustainable buildings, according to the Council's Web site.
The developers are looking for tenants. "Main Street Landing is looking for local folks to bring their local business down to the waterfront," Moulton said. The developers are also seeking an operator for the performing arts theater.
TO LEARN MORE: Visit Main Street Landing Co.'s Web site at www.mainstreetlanding.com for information on the waterfront development. The site includes development plans and photos. Find out more about the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design certification process at www.usgbc.org/leed/leed_main.asp.

That museum in Burlington is ug-ly, I hope that doesn't get built. The South Burlington one I assume is part of the project to create a downtown for South Burlington, which currently doesn't have one.
