Just spent a good portion of the morning in a meeting with representatives of Rhodes and other community leaders.
Rhodes isn't going anywhere and it seems the plans have not changed at all. I believe that the 'pull back' or whatever is merely a business decision at this time. There are still some i's to dot and t's to cross with the various regulators and government entities. All of the work that can legally be done to improve the property to this point is done and the master planned community simply needs more green lights from the county and the ACC in order to continue.
I believe that Mr. Rhodes wants to do business in Mohave County and someday soon he will get the go ahead.
Again the customers of Pravada have supported the planned development by making reservations (one such person made a reservation yesterday even after hearing all the rumors that Rhodes was pulling out of the project and leaving it for dead).
Still the community needs to support the development as well. We need to remind our elected officials on our views. We have to do it wisely though. There is no need to be negative with these officials, just friendly reminders about the positives that will likely be achieved from such a project in our backyard. Of course, take the time to speak up at city and county meetings with the same approach.
I believe it when it is said of Rhodes that he is doing everything by the book to make Pravada a reality here in Mohave County. I just wonder how much bigger that book has gotten since Mr. Rhodes has attempted to make his plans a reality. A new standard is obviously being created by the powers that be and that could very well be a good thing for all of us when all is said and done.
