Mid-South Coliseum Conservancy Announces Investor Interest for Venue Revival

Mid-South Coliseum Conservancy Announces Investor Interest for Venue Revival

The Mid-South Coliseum Conservancy has announced that private investors are willing to contribute to the revival of the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. Corey Strong, President of the Conservancy, updated city leaders on the progress, stating that numerous individuals have pledged funds, bringing the conservancy 30% to 40% closer to their initial goal of $200,000 needed to begin the development plan. The Memphis City Council members are reportedly in agreement that the legendary entertainment venue, which has been closed for 20 years, is due for a revamp. Strong emphasized that the conservancy is not seeking large individual donations but has secured commitments from dozens of people. The next crucial step involves aligning city administrators on the path forward for the project.

Quincy Property Owner Argues Against Rental Registry, Citing Housing Crisis and Increased Costs

Quincy Property Owner Argues Against Rental Registry, Citing Housing Crisis and Increased Costs

Frankie Murphy Giesing, a property owner in Quincy, has voiced strong opposition to a proposed rental registry in the city, arguing that it would exacerbate Quincy's existing housing crisis rather than solve it. Giesing contends that a rental registry, which typically mandates landlords to register properties, provide contact details, and sometimes undergo proactive inspections, would not physically increase the housing supply. Instead, Giesing believes it would force landlords and taxpayers to incur additional costs, leading to higher rents and potentially increased taxes. Giesing suggests that for a city of Quincy's size (under 40,000 people), strengthening complaint-driven code enforcement and targeting problematic properties through nuisance abatement would be more effective and less costly alternatives than a broad rental registry.

Comedian's 'Pied-à-terre' Tax Avoidance Website Gains Serious Traction in New York

Comedian Madison Walser launched Aura Investments, a website initially conceived as a satirical response to New York's proposed pied-à-terre tax on luxury second homes. The site humorously suggested that artists could live in these vacant properties, allowing homeowners to avoid the tax while gaining 'aura' points. Despite its jocular origin, the website has garnered significant serious interest, receiving nearly 4,000 submissions from artists seeking housing and 25 property submissions from homeowners, with eight or nine deemed legitimate after initial checks. Walser, who has a background in software development and used AI coding tools to create the site, is now exploring the possibility of making Aura Investments a legitimate venture. She is seeking legal counsel and considering bringing on a co-founder to address the complexities of legal and safety aspects, including background checks for both parties and ensuring artists have tenant rights through formal lease agreements. The city has issued a warnin...

ALDI to Open First National Grocery Store in Downtown Columbus in Decades, Partnering with Columbus State Community Partners

ALDI, in collaboration with Columbus State Community Partners, is set to open a new 20,000-square-foot grocery store adjacent to Columbus State Community College’s downtown campus. This development marks the first new grocery store by a national retailer in downtown Columbus in decades. The store, located at the northwest corner of Cleveland Avenue and Spring Street, aims to provide convenient access to fresh, affordable groceries for students, faculty, staff, and residents of downtown Columbus and surrounding neighborhoods. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2027, with the store anticipated to open in 2028. Columbus State Community Partners, the college’s real estate affiliate, is facilitating this project as part of broader redevelopment efforts in the area. Franklin County has committed $900,000 for predevelopment, utility, and infrastructure work, and the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corporation (COCIC) will contribute $100,000 for demolition of existing structures on the site.
