At least a: <br /> portion of the project likely will be assessed <br /> to local property owners, many. ,of whom <br /> . voiced strong opposition to that idea at the <br /> June. 29 public hearing. <br /> Some property owners stated the project <br /> will not add value to their respective <br /> properties; therefore they should not be <br /> assessed.
