The city intends to create a year-round, 12½-acre outdoor amusement park. It will be part of a 27-acre amusement and entertainment district.
The project eventually will include restaurants, movie theaters and retail. Nearly 5,000 units of housing are planned, including 900 units for low- and moderate-income families.
