In September, the EDC’s Vision Plan for the BMT was passed by a two-thirds vote of the task force. This approval moves the project into the GPP (General Project Plan) stage.

For the GPP phase, a BMT Development Corporation has been established (BMTDC), and an Advisory Task Force (ATF) has been created. Samantha Razook is participating on the ATF. Meetings have yet to convene. Once meetings convene and information is shared, the committee will continue to update this site with information.

Current Phase of Project: The GPP phase begins with an environmental review process to evaluate how the proposed development could impact the environment—including traffic, air quality, noise, and other factors. This is captured in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

A Draft Scope of Work (DSOW) outlines the framework for the EIS, including potential environmental impacts, alternatives, and mitigation strategies. The public has a say in what is studied and included in the DSOW. These requests can be submitted orally (at hearings) or via email. The deadline has been extended to March 31.
