Development projects -- some of them massive -- in smaller communities often cause headaches for city officials. Even routine development often runs into obstacles, including recalcitrant zoning boards and opposition from neighbors. The ambitious Bay Village project in Trenton is one example. Trenton Mayor Gerald Brown calls the project, to be located on the former McLouth Steel mill site, "the biggest thing that's probably happened here in 50 years." He says the project "has just consumed me." Robin Boyle, professor of urban planning at Wayne State , pointed out that "it's more than just adding up little development issues. It requires a different funding regime to move this. It requires a broader vision. The technical issues that come with these sites would cripple small developers."
