My comment was not about who was paying for the cost of this project.  My intent was to illustrate the cost in relation to who would benefit.   

Could this $100 Million have been better spent to serve the citizens of Eugene??   That is the question that I feel needs to be asked.

And as others have pointed out, there are on-going costs to operate this expansion in the west.   And businesses in that area are paying an increased payroll tax, in order to cover that.   And higher payroll taxes are hardly an economic stimulus.
