I am in big trouble. That heat wave we suffered was all my fault. I'd grown complacent about the cooler summer we enjoyed this year, and prickles of skepticism nudged at my mind. "What global warming?" I asked recklessly. "Hahaha!!! What a bunch of hooey!" This blasphemy deeply offended the Supreme Universe Weather Gods because suddenly I was reminded of (a) how oppressively hot it can get in these parts and (b) how unbearably cranky I become when it does.

With the grand opening of Target July 29, I thought it would be helpful to recap the economic benefit of Cochrane Commons to the city. Well, the city will receive sales tax revenue from the center. Phase I will consist of about 255,000 square feet. To account for the fact that not all of the space is leased up and not all the space is retail per se, let's assume the center will generate on the average about $300 per square foot in annual sales (i.e., some businesses will generate more per square foot than others). That equates to about $76.5 million in annual sales which translates to $765,000 in sales tax revenue to the city. If we assume 60 percent of those sales are "new sales" as opposed to recaptured sales (e.g., Target is not generating all new sales since it had an existing store), the city would receive about $380,000 in new sales tax revenue to the general fund. This could be used for any purpose such as funding police officers, parks maintenance, or recreational activities. This illustrates why the Cochrane Commons is so important to the community from an economic development perspective.
