I have done this since the end of October so here are some since then.

There's a public hearing tonight that will set the priorities that will be the basis for funding . . . well, maybe, if they...

Final step . . . common council . . . have you been paying attention? I haven't, I gave up a while ago (and it includes my neighborhood!), I have no idea which changes from the Economic Development Commission and others made it in.
