Scrapping Gaillard Center would be ‘fiscally irresponsible’ | The Post and Courier | Charleston SC, News, Sports, Entertainment: The beautifully renovated performance hall will offer extraordinary performance opportunities and experiences for citizens of our region and performers alike and will greatly benefit our diverse arts groups. School children from all across the region will have access to the one of the very best performance halls in America, which will offer them life-shaping experiences.
There was a suggestion in a recent op-ed column that the Gaillard Center project be abandoned for a new, not precisely defined site, which the city does not own, on the waterfront next to the cruise terminal.
There are many things wrong with this idea. One is that an approach like this would probably conservatively cost an additional $100 million which is not attainable from the city or private sources. It is also fiscally irresponsible to suggest that the city abandon this project after $13 million has been spent.
