"I didn't read anything about permitting timelines tied to the millions of dollars that we need."
Well now here's a thought Hansix...and it's only my thought...which is worth pennies. If I was a Financier, (and so are any other potential investors/shareholders) and I read this part:
"The Review Board has not yet received any responses to party information requests. The developer is required to respond to the information requests and submit an updated project description to the Review Board before technical sessions can be scheduled."
...what message should I read into this? Getting money is more important than getting permission? Isn't that like me asking y'all to chip in and send me a million dollars because I think I might be able to get a good deal on this cool looking bridge that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan? Don't worry about the permission thing...I'll deal with that later.
I feel like I'm from Missouri...the Show Me state. ;-)
