Councilor Gina Noble said she was
concerned about improvements to the intersection near the area. City Manager
John Dorman said the City of Stillwater would not be responsible for the impact
of traffic, but that the developer would have to pay the cost of improving the
intersection.
Noble said she was in favor of
the business coming to Stillwater, but should not be incentivized to do so.
Vice Mayor Joe Weaver said there
are people behind this, and since the council has already supported it
previously, it should follow through with it.
Mayor John Bartley said it’s not
possible for one development to hit all of the City’s economic goals, but that
this development does hit several of them. The return on investment for the
project would be tremendous and prevent Stillwater residents from spending
their dollars in other communities while getting residents of other communities
to come to Stillwater.

Noble opposed the measure.
