Well, we did have final approval on anything they did. Gram was very clear that, even though they wanted to do the corner entrance, it was my call. And they let me choose what they painted gray and what got painted the "brick color" to match the upper floors (since that wasn't anything they could see from the old black and white image they had of the bank). So I kinda feel like we were in it enough to count. :D
It wasn't slated for anything until we signed the 5 year lease. That was the condition before they opted to put a dime into it. That's also why so little else is being done downtown... we've got to find more businesses willing to sign on the dotted line so that building owners can feel safe about moving forward. Nasty catch-22.
