Virtual Reality (VR) center at Hotel Grinnell
Description
Brian Megel wants to open a VR entertainment center in Hotel Grinnell's old gym, asking the city for $10,000/month for 12–15 months to offset his risk. The council directed staff to draft a proposed TIF agreement, item-by-item.
Impact summary
Could give local kids and families a new indoor activity — though some members worry the $120-per-hour family price is out of reach for many.
