Chairman Dowd
Any other questions? Ok! am going to open it up to public comment. Again this public hearing is on
amendment to R-18-002, “eliminating the timing requirement for the public funds”. So please limit all your
comments to that one subject and limit your comments to approximately 3 minutes. I'll now take testimony
in favor? If you want to speak in favor, please come up to the microphone, state your name and address
for the record.

There are many stakeholders involved. From there, the Steering Committee needed to organize itself, and
develop a rhythm which is vitally important for the project’s success. And again, it takes time. The culture
that developed is one where the Committee worked and acts in a very collaborative and consensus building
manner.

Those haven't started but the developer is working with others who are going to build those projects out.
There are other sites in Nashua where people have expressed a lot of interest and it looks like they are
very serious in proceeding in part because and some people out of town, because of the Performing Arts
Center.
