Progress

For all the people who read this- (thank you Bike Messengers of Cleveland- your encouragement keeps me going...) You should know just how far we've made it.

In a development like this, the business plan is intensive and extensive. 5 year financial projections, feasibility studies, operations, management, economic impact, etc, etc has to be researched by knowledgeable professionals. We are 99% done with the Pro Forma, maybe 50% done with the rest of it.

But the most important thing is the Architectural plans are 95% complete, with renderings- we know what its going to look like. It is phenomenal. There is no other velodrome like this in the world. Hugh Downs is making a documentary called "Buildings of the Future" and this type of building is one of them. This structure is "Green" off the charts. It also reduces the cost of the entire project in half , operating costs in half, and the whole thing, track and all, can be completed in 6 months.

So now you can see I am focused on funding. Cleveland has this chance to accomplish something truly internationally significant.
