They have worked with us for the past fourteen months to formulate a plan that respects our history and culture and will be exciting and entertaining to the public. We appreciate the efforts to date of both Full House and DCSW, which has shown great vision in its preliminary design work. We anticipate great things from this economic development process and look forward to long-lasting gains. I am especially excited about being affiliated with Mr. Lee Iacocca.
