We <br /> estimate the project will require nine months to construct. Marketing for the senior living units will begin <br /> immediately upon project approval. <br /> We are aware of the key location of this project at a major entry point to the City, and desire to create a <br /> high quality development that expresses the ideals of the City of Orono. The proposed project will be a <br /> great asset to citizens of Orono and nearby communities as well as the City of Orono. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at 952-948-9401. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> KRAUS-ANDERSON�REALTY COMPANY <br /> �������� <br /> Matt S.
