The property at 127 Ewingville, Forbes, has been signed by them.  The closing has not occurred as of June 13, 2012. All properties have to be complete 90 days after closing. The use of this land was discussed. Ann Peterson. Alderman, said that the plans for the walking trail are on the other side of the river. Ben Worley, Project Manager, was not clear on how the land could be used after completion. He said there were 3 pages of restrictions from FEMA but he felt that a parking lot of gravel could be used. Those assembled told him they were not interested in any parking lot. This decision does not fall under his jurisdiction.
