On April 19, the Clinton Historic Commission met with Developer Kent Leach and project architect Buzz Goss to review some changes that have been made in the original design.

There have been meetings scheduled and canceled;

And, as noted, there are a number a government agencies involved from the State Historic Office to the City of Clinton and, “Things just didn’t come together,” architect for the project, Buzz Goss, said.
