In addition to regular updates, this report also provides a summary of the due diligence activity on several base-era structures in the Cultural Terrace area, and seeks Board and public commentary and direction.

ANALYSIS

The monthly Great Park Development Progress Report is generally provided in presentation form ahead of Great Park Board meeting to facilitate transparency and provide timely updates on Great Park projects (Attachment 1). Please note projects with no change since previously presented are generally not provided a status update.

In addition, this monthly report allows the opportunity for monthly discussion of Great Park development amongst the public and the Great Park Board.
