We have a window of opportunity to make this work in the state. I do not believe we can continue to negotiate exclusively with the county.
I believe, without expressing a preference, that it would be very difficult to overlook the elements of a cluster that are already in place in Boca, or will be in place shortly.
For these negotiations to go forward, we felt the commission needs to delegate one of its own to negotiate. I think we owe that to the citizens of Palm Beach County and the state of Florida.
If we are going to leave the county, it has to be next week.
Who in their right mind is going to give us money for research if there's a risk it would go back to Palm Beach County?
We've never taken out one of these bonds before.
We're very happy that the first step has been taken. We have a lot more work to do before we can bring this project to fruition.
It's either going to come together or it's not.
If it helps, it's great; if it doesn't, it doesn't. There's nothing more than that to it.
