Master Plan upsets Echo Harbor developer

The developer of the long-controversial Echo Harbor project (210 luxury condos, restaurant, health club, stores and offices) has called the recently released Downtown Master Plan “inherently flawed”, upset that the document blocks out his land as most appropriate as a park. The city government sends mixed messages, with 4th District Councilwoman Kathy C.
