He will find out estimated costs and <br />the scope of the study for that cost. <br />When he has this information, he will ahare it with all of us so we can all <br />decide which direction to go. <br />I will keep you uptodate as I know something. <br />I attended the Courthouse Square meeting yesterday and there was a discussion <br />about a study regarding the north block. <br />I understood those in attendance to be saying they were going forward with a <br />study to determine what residential housing there would be on the north block. <br />I shared with them that I would prefer a study to find the highest and best <br />uae of the north block. I also told them I prefer a citizen group to be <br />involved early in this process so we have the pluse of the community on this <br />~ issue. With citizen involvement perhaps we can gain support of the entire <br />project. <br />After lengthy (and very good) discussion, there was agreement that the SAC <br />(the citizen committee who has been involved for quite some time) will <br />reconvene at some time which is to be determined to discuss options for the <br />north block. There was expression around the table that we tie up loose ends <br />on Courhouse Sq., get it moving forward and then delve into the north block <br />issue. <br />I was very glad I attended the meeting. It was very informative and helpful <br />to me. I plan to attend regularly. <br />Patti <br />CC: BWasson,JDavis,RCurtis <br />
