As I understand it, this rec center (Baptist church building) was going to be bought and paid for by the AAC (the org that manages the $40M settlement with the developer). The developer was not going to pay the bill for this. The only thing the developer offered was to donate the money he was going to spend on a neighborhood pool to the AAC towards the rec center pool. Now, the AAC will probably get sucked into spending $3M for 40 acres on 42, with no building. This is going to be one expensive rec center by the time it's finished.
