Please let this message update our reservation holders with a status report on our progress and provide further information all interested parties.

We are pleased to announce that on September 9, 2008, we received approval along with a site development permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District.

We also obtained approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

We are proceeding through the final permitting stages and have received our special use permit for development of the waste water and public supply system, our public supply well permit and have installed two freshwater wells.

We have received consumptive use permits for our water from the water management district in addition to completing the required traffic studies and obtaining approved determinations of wetlands on site , as well as completing the required wildlife and vegetation studies. 

We submitted all detailed engineering and construction plans to Marion County officials and to the other state agencies and have submitted site construction applications to lock in impact fees for the development. 

In summary we are diligently working through the final stages of the permitting process and expect to receive all permits by the end of this year.

At that time we will have the development permits and approvals completed in order to begin the next phase of development. Subject to the conditions of the financial markets which provide our development financing, we plan to begin construction and to be ready for occupancy late 2009.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope that you will continue to have an interest in becoming an owner at RiverCreek. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having the resort ready for occupancy as originally planned.
