I'm sure the apparently $2,000,000 "donation" has benefits of some sort to the Developer. That's just common sense.
If the Developer is simply interested in public relations and this is simply a token of his largesse, I don't believe it. There would be much better ways to generate goodwill, than subsidizing the budget of (2) isolated CDD's.
I'm sure most of the story will soon come to light and everyone will have a better idea what's behind it.

“The Developer” is not an individual, most likely. It a board or committee that, of course, has the sense to be mindful of public relations. This circumstance was extreme. They saw that and made a gesture to help. Based on this thread, they may have been better off doing nothing.
As far as benefits to a donor, there is no such thing as a selfless act. When I give to a charity, I get nothing in return? Not true. I get to feel good about mySELF.
