Chair Louis asks about the status of HPD conversations and the L term sheet. Ron Shulman of Best Development Group reports two years of HPD conversations, a dozen rounds of underwriting back-and-forth, plans reviewed, and an appraisal underway, with hopes for financing in the near term.

Farah N. Louis

And what is the status of your conversations with HPD and your proposal to rely on the L term sheet?

Yeah, I would introduce Ron Shulman from Best Consulting who can discuss the latest HPD conversations.

We've gone back and forth probably a dozen times on the underwriting.
