Previously, Chief Scott had stated that he himself would be doing the cost benefit analysis. The Letter of Intent was submitted to the DCED on May 24, 2024. However, documents received from the DCED via a RTK request clearly demonstrate that the Borough was working with the DCED as early as February 2024, and Borough Manager Locke met with DCED representatives on March 8, 2024.
