The short-term progress indicator has been achieved. For the intermediate term section, we are in the process of interviewing historic architects to contract with for creating historically accurate construction documents. We expect that the long-term objective of attacting visitors and residents to a museum that demonstrates the tankhouse engineering of the buliding and shares the associated history will be achieved in 3-5 years.
