Microsoft growth outlined to council
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
In proceedings that could influence whether Microsoft can go ahead with a proposed 2.2 million-square-foot expansion of its Redmond campus, that city's planning department last night explained the company's growth plans to the mayor and seven-member City Council.
Though the public was admitted, no input was solicited at the meeting, which instead was intended to officially inform the city's governing body about the 25-page development agreement and to address members' questions.
"The idea is to respond to their questions get direction on issues they want covered" before a March 15 hearing, said Rob Odle, Redmond's policy planning manager.
