Funds of up to $5 million to pay pre-construction amounts due under the design contracts will be transferred to the City as those contract payments become due, subject to obtaining the Donor Loan Commitment...
...The City will provide $30 million for the land, design and construction of the Tanger Center.
Hasn't the city already provided more than $11 million?
The City will pay its portion of the design and construction costs after the Donor Loan Commitment has been obtained...
...the CFGG on behalf of the Private Donors will have to obtain financing to cover their share of the design and construction costs for the Tanger Center.
If the donors are going to "provide" $35 million with a loan,
with who's money are they going to pay how much interest over 10 years?
It is understood that both the City and the Private Donors may need to use a portion of the Tanger Center as collateral for that financing.
It is agreed that the ownership of the Tanger Center will vest in the City once the financing repayment obligations of the Private Donors are satisfied, which is expected to occur no later than 10 years after the opening of the Tanger Center..."

Who gets how much of what if the “Donor Loan Commitment” defaults?
The city doesn't need to use the center as collateral,
but the Community Foundation does.

George:
“…cash collections of written pledges and grant awards.”
Written pledges many times for a variety of reasons do not come to fruition. For example, the entity pledging, being a firm or individual, runs into financial difficulty or ends operations [bankruptcy regarding firms or individuals pass away with no written statement completing the pledge].
Grant [taxpayer money] awards is merely one political taxing authority awarding taxpayer money to another political taxing authority e.g. state to local. Once again the awarding political taxing authority can run into financial trouble or bankruptcy.
Regarding the “$35 million for the design and construction” and the “The city will provide $30 million for the land, design and construction”, those figures are held forth as hard and fast. When was the last time a politico directed program came under budget? It happens, but it is the outlier. More than likely price over-runs and delays end with the supposed hard and fast figure being obliterated. Odds on that the price ends much higher than advertised.
One needs to consider, reflect and ponder on exactly who benefits? Moreover, who benefits if the music hall succeeds or fails? Who succeeds if the budget is on target or the budget over-runs $10 or 20 million? In all cases, who ever benefits or succeeds, do those who benefit or succeed, the price thereof, fall on what group? If failure ensues, does the same group pay that paid for the benefit or success? Is one looking straight into the face of a zero sum game? If the music hall fails, the sponsoring politicos thereof, do they pay a personal price for the failure? Do politicos ever pay a direct financial price for failed notional propositions?
Finally, government produces nothing. Ever heard that phrase?
The complete phrase is: Government produces nothing that would not have otherwise been produced in the private sector, absent tax. Meaning, the basket of goods, the value thereof, is the same in both instances, merely the composition of the basket of goods changes. Since value does not change, then nothing has been created.
