> Hello,

> project last year was turned down which asked for $200,000 and supplied a
> complete business plan for the building. The asking amount for alum
> treatment for Hinckley's pond is $500,000 from our historic category. I am
> very concerned and would love to hear from anyone that has knowledge

> one rehab it according to department of the interior standards?
