Today's Democrat & Chronicle indicated that "pressure" was being applied on the MCC Board of Trustee's to decide on a location for their downtown campus.
I thought they already decided.
The "pressure" the D&C was describing was the building owner's threat that if a new lease isn't signed at the Sibley Building, MCC may be out. Obviously, MCC needs a location until the Kodak site is ready (which would not be for 2 years).
Pressure? Sounds like extortion.

The Kodak site seems to be a better site for the college. It has ample parking, a cafeteria and it seems to be in a safer area. From what has been said the rent for MCC to continue the use of the Sibley Building will be hiked from 3.1 to 4 million dollars per year. Right now the owners of the Sibley building has MCC by the petunias. The Kodak site won't be ready for a few years and I would doubt that they would allow MCC to sign a short lease to see them through until Kodak is ready. MCC has made it clear they prefer to move out of that building but their wishes are being held hostage. The powers that be mumble about revitalizing downtown but last I knew the Kodak building was downtown too. Oh well.
