Respondents are urged, but not required, to attend this event, which is one of three informational sessions being offered. NORA and Propeller staff will discuss the RFP requirements, application selection process as well as answer questions.

This “unconference” offers the opportunity to talk directly with city representatives about zoning restrictions, availability of water, insurance coverage and the like. You are not required to stay for the full amount of time. This event is setup for you to get your specific questions answered regarding your proposal and lot(s) of interest.
