    Well, this is great news! Lets hope that it has an impact on St Vincents Orphage across the street!

    And that both developments here and at Artspace attact a redevelopment opportunity for Our Lady of Lourdes de Notre Dame.

    Both SV and OLOL are important parts of restoring this section of Main Street to some form of stability and vitality.

    Look for Kaleida to renovate and occupy a number of sites on Main St. since they need to move services to the BNMC (as Gates is phased out--but construction of large new buildings doesn't progress in time to occupy them). Also, some ambulatory services at BGH will need to be housed off site during hospital reconstruction. It will be like one of those sliding tile puzzles in which some clinical service moves to a vacant site, only to be replaced by a different one, making room for something else, somewhere else...... I wouldn't be surprised to find that some of them stay right on Main St, making for a more organic urban setting.
