“It's a tool. And then... The way that I would imagine how it could be helpful, I'm trying to gain a picture in my own mind as well as convey to the public, is that if a developer, a particular smaller developer, came to the plan department, began meeting, and then ran into a glitch because, maybe because something was too expensive, this could be offered to that prospective developer, especially as we encourage them to promote projects that we really wanna see. Right?”

“Okay. And then I'm just wondering if you could just speak a little bit more and give a little bit more information about this idea of economies of scale and how do you see that playing out? Are you speaking in terms of you might have multiple small developers that... in the long run would benefit together as a group, or in what way are you seeing economies of scale come through this tool? So can you just speak a little bit more about that?”
