   The news about the transatlantic crossings and the potential data centers is excellent, but I’d take that bet on the economic benefit comparison with the arena, especially if the arena turns out to be successful and busy. Nor are they totally unrelated. The arena is the kind of social and cultural amenity that makes companies want to come to an area – along with the availability of the infrastructure they need. I bet it gets mentioned in every economic development pitch from now on….even outside of VB! Since the General Assembly was persuaded to exempt legal tender coins from the retail sales tax I certainly hope to see a major coin show in that new facility in a few years!

   Finally. Decent development. Forget the arena’s, the salaries here can’t afford it. We went down this road before.

   Invest in this and in biotech, etc. Then after you get enough $$$$ salaries in, then you can bring in the arena.
