Impact analysis
Taxpayers are likely on the hook for the fallout, and the local economy will take a hit from the loss of projected growth.
Honestly, nobody really wins here, though it might serve as a wake-up call for better oversight on future projects.
Local residents are the biggest losers, as they're left with a stalled project and a lot of uncertainty about their property values.
