Millennium Real Estate, LLC attended the meeting to answer questions from the Board on what has to accomplish first. The Board was told to decide what direction and detail it wishes to accomplish in their development plan. If needed, will they agree to a two phase plan if the funding will only support this? The time line now may mean that a 2011 application may be most likely.
The Board will meet for a workshop on January 6th at noon at Chatham Acres and then schedule a development meeting with Millennium for late in January. At that time an RFP may be worked on.
Ms. McLaughlin mentioned the Senior Center will be starting construction during the spring of 2010 and may need a meeting place other than the Senior Center. Ms. Ewing will contact Ms. Bobbi regarding dates and time.
