Due to past poor management of the environmental infrastructure, the river has become illegal to swim in in certain parts, and after rain falls the entire river is off limits to swim or fish in due to the heavy amounts of pollution ending up there that the city has not had the infrastructure to deal with in the past.But this all began to change in 2017, when the Virginia General Assembly passed the largest infrastructure project in Alexandria's history to make the Potomac River swimmable, and fishable by the year 2040, and they have made significant progress recently with the completion of the 2 mile long, 100-foot deep Waterfront Tunnel named Hazel.Named after environmental activist Hazel Johnson, the Hazel Waterfront Tunnel will prevent millions of gallons of combined sewage from polluting the region's waterways.

Anyone investing in real estate needs to be prepared for that.It sounds like this investor was able to make significant progress with this tenant to get caught up.

When it's against you, your progress slows, but you can still move forward.

It's amazing how people on these voting committees single in on issues that should not stand in the way of community progress like landscaping, parking, and dog parks.

And be sure you have the ability to fire them at will and settle up so if they aren't progressing how you would expect, you can move on without paying huge penalties or in some cases not having any way of being able to fire them at all (some of the builders' contracts are ridiculously in their favor).
