The village eventually lost its Target store, Sam’s Club, a Toys R Us and others. It even lost its only full-service grocery store when Dominick’s closed in 2013. It was clear Matteson, like many towns dependent on brick-and-mortar shopping districts, needed a new strategy, according to Chalmers-Currin. ....
U pon its initial release in 1982, Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” was a critical and commercial disappointment. Over time the film amassed a devoted cult following, and in 1992, upon the release of Scott’s director’s cut, Times film critic Kenneth Turan wrote a deep dive into the making of the film and its rediscovery.

2 months ago Share Officials want to see the Qualified Target Industry (QTI) tax-refund program reinstated in Florida to attract high-paying jobs. by: Jim Turner The News Service of Florida U.S. Space Command headquarters going to Alabama is the latest evidence of Florida’s self-inflicted wounds from cutting back on business incentives, members of the Florida Economic Development Council argued on Thursday, Jan. 21. The council maintains that Florida put itself at a competitive disadvantage in attracting high-skilled and high-paying jobs by giving up on “performance-based” incentive programs such as the Qualified Target Industry, or QTI, tax-refund program. “These programs just tipped the scale a little bit in our direction,” Bob Swindell, president & CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, said during a council webinar. “I think when we talk about what we re focused on, you know, we call it the targeted indust ....

Check out the ever-rising skyline, where 2021 and 2022 will bring three new skyscrapers to the heart of Utah’s capital: • The 24-story Liberty Sky apartment tower, climbing 250 feet. • The 25-story 95 State at City Creek office complex, soaring 393 feet. • The 26-story Hyatt Regency convention center hotel, climbing 375 feet. None of these high-rises will displace the city’s top two skyscrapers in terms of height. Those are the 26-floor Wells Fargo Center on Main Street (at 422 feet) and the 28-story LDS Church Office Building (420 feet). (It’s a myth that Salt Lake City ever had a rule against building anything taller than the North Temple behemoth housing offices for the state’s predominant faith.) ....
