Congrats to Tom and Frank

It was a big day yesterday: the federal government approved $300 million in loans to the Union Station redevelopment.  That’s about 60% of the funding for the project.  It’s our company’s job to develop real estate that, over time, will create tax revenues which in turn will pay back those loans.  Furthermore, the feds indicated their intention to provide $1 billion (with a b) to fund the FasTracks program.  Like I said, incredible.

At the press conference, the politicians, rightfully, spent a lot . . . of . . . time . . . thanking . . . the . . . various . . . elected . . . officials, . . . agencies . . . and. . . organizations . . . that . . . have done so much to make the project a reality.

We wanted to thank the two guys who have led us the whole way: Tom Gougeon and Frank Cannon.  There are no two guys who know more about the project, have pushed more, pulled more, waited more, planned more, or had more of an effect on the project than these two.  Thanks so much to both of them.
