PAC is a possibility, but I have not heard any discussions about what the EDC is trying to do there. The last time I heard, PAC was trying to get their cost down to the $50-million range. Based upon some of the presentation at city and county commission meetings, I suspect the EDC is more interested in issues like creating a venture capital fund to finance a business incubator and a loan guarantee program to attract Qualified Target Industries to the area. However, I suppose when one is “visioning” there is no telling what one may dream up.
