In addition, this year we have a need to use <br />predevelopment funds to acquire right of way for two road projects, including Douglas Road <br />and the Napoleon Street extension. Total right of way acquisition costs are expected to be in <br />the $40,000 to $50,000 range. <br />Jeff Gibney or I will make presentation to the Council at your January 28 meeting.
