DEVELOPMENT READINESS
Site 03 has completed several important due diligence steps, including a boundary survey, geotechnical study, and Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, with topographic information also available.
Additional environmental work, including a formal wetlands delineation and related site-specific studies, is still needed to confirm the final developable footprint and determine any mitigation or permitting requirements.
