Impact analysis
About $4.2 million a year in new tax revenue for the city, plus $1.25 million in upfront community benefits — with no public money invested.
Kearny Mesa residents and businesses get jobs, amenities, library funding, and park preservation; the whole city gains tax revenue.
A retail-impact concern was raised for existing nearby shopping centers, and former General Dynamics employees' attorney warned against trusting the company's commitments.
