Why? It's no different from every other industrial building along commissioners.

This area is in a flood zone right now so its uses / building types are pretty limited. Once the work on the Don River flood protection zone is complete this area will see better development - but that's 20-40 years down the line. I would make a bet that the city has a planned road network for when this area is complete - these smaller developments are likely within the future right-of-ways.

Yes, it's simple, easily dismantle-able big-box style construction that will serve a 20-30 year timeframe. I've got no problem with it as an interim use.

yup, these things are like big box stores - usually built to be profitable after ~20 years, so any extra time beyond that is "bonus". These buildings aren't built to stick around for a century.

Yeah, but put a Home Depot, Lowe's, or Walmart sign on it and you and many would??

Well, atleast there will be decent sidewalks and landscaping. Def will look better than before.
I wonder what will be built next to the FedEx facility where the vacant industrial land is
