Morrow struggles to revive Olde Towne Morrow

www.cbsatlanta.com/story/15013406/morrow

The city borrowed $10 million to finance Olde Towne Morrow and other projects. It continues to pay $600,000 in annual debt on the loan.

"We have a black cloud over us," said City Manager Jeff Eady. "The project is bleeding and we need to stop it."

Former city manager and city councilman John Lampl spearheaded much of the project. A grand jury recently indicted him on charges of perjury, making false statements and conspiracy to restrain competition. Lampl is accused of signing contracts with developers without putting the projects out for bid.

'Olde Towne Morrow' riddled with problems

www.news-daily.com/news/2011/feb/25/olde-towne-morrow-riddled-with-problems/

A "State of the Morrow Downtown Development Authority" PowerPoint presentation from December 2010 shows millions of taxpayers' dollars were spent to build "Olde Towne Morrow," but it also shows revenues totaled less than $10,000 over a 13-month period of operation

...And, That's The Punch Line to this Story ;D
