Last July, Vice President Joe Biden stood in front of a hulking, five-story abandoned factory in Northside with good news: The federal government had approved $1.6 million in stimulus money to help transform the American Can Building into new stores and apartments. The project would create 100 construction jobs - proof, Biden said, that the stimulus was putting people to work. Seven months later, the project remains stalled, and has yet to make good on that promise.
