HTN: Waterfront War over Hotel Design

The waterfront development war over a new hotel goes on and on. More than two months after their proposal was turned down, Paul Ciminelli and Mark Hamister are upset about how City Hall chose their competitors. A plan submitted by former City Council President James Pitts was accepted, but is now going through significant changes after complaints about a "suburban style" design. The defeated developers say that the Pitts group is now submitting new designs that violate height restrictions that were used to eliminate the Ciminelli-Hamister plan.
