He noted that we are keeping lots of existing elements in the park design which helps keep the costs down.

Mr. Vorametsanti estimated the construction drawings would be completed by mid-Septemb,er and would go out to bid around the same time; the bid would be awarded in mid-October with construction to begin in November.
