(continued... <br />a <br />Nimtz: There is also a question here <br />to whether there has been a fair appraisal <br />not by the Court appointed appraisers. <br />[r. Kolata: Originally our appraisals were <br />alued at $5,050. The Court appraisal figures <br />ame in at $5,400.

They have been asked to revise it <br />nd also to make some recommendations to HUD as <br />o changes in regulations that are necessary to <br />ake the environmental review process work better <br />n a national level. Abt's contract with HUD <br />equires that they secure a national panel of <br />xperts and I was asked to be one of these <br />xperts, primarily from a local point of view. <br />have a feeling that it results in part from <br />y great interest in the historic preservation <br />rea as it relates to environmental review processes. <br />n any event, I agreed to do this without any <br />nderstanding of the details. This is essentially <br />five month project in which Abt.
