Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Have You Heard the Rumor ...

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Yes!  It is wonderful!  Hope he gets the project but he is, as always, 
philosophical. He’s competing w/ some big name developers.  However, his 
proposal does fit the RFP guidelines to a T for a mixed use retail and housing 
complex.  Finger crossed!

Thanks for writing!
