county enthused land mass mayors quite site sort southern sure talk

documents goal main maintain mix understand uses
Our main goal is to understand if, in fact, they still can maintain the construction schedule, and if they can keep to the mix of uses that already is in the documents they've signed. There's no flexibility on that front.
authority default either emphasize financial further obligation punish required until
I have to emphasize - and this is important - that they have not been in default of any obligation that they have to the authority from either a financial or construction perspective. Until that changes, nothing further is required by the authority. You can't punish someone in anticipation of them doing something inappropriate.
assure outcome received signed
I assure you, today's outcome would have been dramatically different had we not received those signed documents,
