Mr. Chiles commented on the significant amount of time the development agree- ment allows for the developer to take possession of the property. He stated that it sounds like that timeline doesn't need to be as long as is currently written In the document. He questioned if that is something that could be orally change to be shorter. Noel Anderson explained that the length- ier timeline was to keep the development agreement alive In the event they didn't get the Greyfield credits, because they would have to wait a year tc reapply. ft does sound like things are moving along a lot faster.
