You are correct to raise that question because the Government spent money

and it may not have an end product to show for it. If the Government does have an end product, then it very well may not be to the level that was envisioned when the contracts were put into place. It is question people should be asking at every step of this proposed project because the very same thing could happen again. Now a different group of people (or companies) could be the benefactors, but it would essentially be a rinse and repeat of what may have happened with the infrastructure funding.
