I think it a bit misleading
I think it a bit misleading to say taxpayer subsidized, then say $57M.
It would be more correct to say that taxpayers in South Waterfront contributing $8.5M plus interest over the next 20 years will help build a $57M tram. Also, this $8.5M plus interest will indeed be forgone tax revenue for the city, county and other jurisdictions.
