My thanks to NRP for releasing information so we can ourselves debate the merits of the proposals. Minor request: any chance the NRP Link is on-line for those of us not on the mailing list?
I'm looking at two things: 1) how truly affordable the housing is, given the request for public subsidy; and 2) who if anyone is displaced by a proposed project? Actually, three: whether there has been resolution of the conflict of interest issue that weighs heavily on the Carriage House Program. I hope others weigh in on this. Gregory Luce N.
