As sometimes happens in this business, news can break after the initial story has been filed. We strive, of course, to keep our efforts as fresh and up to date as we can.
Today we come to you with two such updates.
<p>The first has to do with this post: http://othersideofbrunswick.blogspot.com/2014/09/considering-new-municipal-development.html, which we filed just yesterday.
The response to this story has exceeded all expectations, and we can tell you now with confidence that Freeport and Brunswick want this dump built.
Those words may sound a bit familiar, but it’s probably just your imagination. We do trust that cognizant authorities will give the views of Freeport the consideration they deserve. </p>
Now for the second story, which relates to this post: http://othersideofbrunswick.blogspot.com/2014/09/breaking-news-nnepra-fails-to-win-2014.html
In the post, we told you how NNEPRA had failed to win a $14 million TIGER 6 Grant from DOT, and how that would complicate their plans for a $30 million Service Optimization Project that deals with capital improvements between Portland and Brunswick, including the Maintenance and Layover Facility adjacent to the Bouchard Drive neighborhood.
According to other sources, however, this don’t make no never mind. We read today in a posted comment by Benet Doneit to an article published yesterday in the PPH that:
“They have the funding secured through other sources.
Build it there, build it now.”
We’re not familiar with Mr. Doneit, but the name somehow rings a bell. That aside, he appears closely connected to NNEPRA authorities and inside information. Either that, or Mr. D has a lot of guile.
If Doneit is right, we can’t help but wonder whether NNEPRA has some legal exposure for not revealing their other funding sources in the TIGER application to DOT. We’ll leave that to the attorneys to figure out. We know they have several available to them for pro bono work.
Though some could be occupied on other ‘landmark’ legal cases.
