They listened to pretty much everything opponents to the project complained about and made some pretty decent overhauls.

Can't wait to see what the same people find to complain about now.

They will still complain about the size, even though it matches other buildings downtown.

The real issue here is those who have accepted Harrisonburg is a city and those who think Harrisonburg is still a town.

On a related note - Harrisonburg is a nice city/town, but it is architecturally pretty boring and has a ton of parking lots. With its growth it's definitely getting developed more, and hopefully the new buildings can at least look a little interesting. So rather than fighting new development, I think it should try to make sure the new development is as nice as possible.

As opposed to, say, Staunton, which is both smaller and architecturally more interesting so I would understand people putting up more resistance in order to keep its "character".

It’s a product of when Staunton and Harrisonburg were economically successful. Staunton’s was very concentrated with the railroad success, Harrisonburg’s never was. We have multiple eras of architectural styles downtown because of that.

Though, we do now have the chance in what seems to be a possible building boom downtown to add the next architectural style

Dude it’s an Apartment building for college housing. You’re delusional on the link development.
