The Paragon Outlets Livermore Valley's grand-opening weekend attracted 350,000 visitors, according to a report by the Valley Times.
The attendance is based on a preliminary report that 100,000 cars entered the shopping center's parking lots between Thursday and Sunday.

I'm not from the city, but I can tell you that very reasonable projections show the city receiving $1,000,000 a year, JUST from the outlets. That doesn't count the trickle down effect. For instance, my business has two new clients because they found jobs there, now allowing them to spend money on "disposable income" type of activities. I turned around and celebrated by going out to dinner with my fiance downtown. I don't know what the time frame is on the city seeing that money, but I can't possibly imagine it would be more than the end of the fiscal year. I don't know about the infrastructure in this particular case, but it's pretty commonplace in construction where the developer is liable for that. I'd guess the city gave them some tax breaks, streamlining permitting process, etc., but I'd bet Paragon was on the hook for the vast majority of that.
ed over I-580 on First street several times over the weekend. The traffic looked like rush hour, ah I mean crawl hour, during the week. Hopefully the traffic will calm down a bit after the holidays.
Or maybe he is referring to the lack of a designated left turn lane for those exiting off 580 east. The parking spaces at a 90 degree angle instead of the much more efficient 45 degree angle was a brilliant move - maybe he was thinking of us there too. Go back to your hole donkey - you are pathetic.
And a chunk of the $1,000,000 revenue will go to policing the new mall.

I totally get where you're coming from. After a hard day at work, the last thing anyone wants to do is get stuck in a shopping mall traffic jam, when all you're trying to do is go home. Hopefully, things will get better for you and your fellow afternoon commuters in that regard after the "newness" of the mall wears off.
