I believe that the rules allow the development money to come from any subsequent BID, but unless and until I'd guess it's coming from the TCP, wherever it is they get their money from.
Yes, "until" is the pertinent word given this position could be a Development Manager for something that doesn't happen. I guess the "further 5 years" are paid for by the BID and the first year, if what you say is correct, is by the TCP.
If I was a cynic, I might say this might be rushed through so the Parkway businesses have to contribute, yet they won't have a say in the ballot as the development won't be open by then. Personally I don't know if this is even possible.
