Friday 22nd May was meant to be the day of “financial close” for the project. The day by which the final costs would be agreed and contracts could be signed. It did not happen. There are still a few outstanding legal, planning and environmental details to be agreed. However, the good news is that over the next few days there are a number of meetings planned when these issues can be resolved. We also heard this week that a date in the middle of June has been agreed when a group from the Moray Council team will visit Edinburgh to give a presentation to Scottish Futures Trust about the plans and aspirations. There are a number of people working exceptionally hard to pull the last details together. We are not there yet, but we are getting there!
