****We have now contracted with Buford Thompson to serve as our Construction Manager at Risk, Harper/Perkins as our architect for the project, and have signed a contract on the Basham Estate of 162 acres.    We have 30 days to do our environmental testing on the property and hope to close soon after that 30 day period.   When we close on the property, preliminary drawings will begin and we hope to video-cam the construction site so that the public can follow construction via the internet.  

 

The meeting was adjourned and the next scheduled meeting of the Board is on October 15, 2007 at 6:000 pm.
