Museums

I just read that the African-American Museum plan is still on hold. So in effect, the city is tying up prime redevelopment property by announcing the plans before they are ready to actually build the thing. I for one am getting tired of plans announced and no action. Is this just a way to drive away other potential plans? After all, who would pursue other Furlow Building plans if the City has dibs on the property. Meanwhile, rats and birds inhabit the building, spreading filth and disease, not to mention keeping adjacent property values down.
