Notable Quotes (2)
Inclusion in the Ten Year CIP is not a guarantee that these projects are moving forward. In order for the projects to move forward they do have to have the appropriate funding budgeted.
We have a housing deficit and the only answer to needing housing is more... by having more options for people to choose from at their income level we kind of help all the housing supply.
