AN EXCERPT: In an Aug. 6 letter to Lamar Whitmer of Confluence Partners LLC, President Ben Shelly threatened to withdraw his support of a proposed resort in Gap/Bodaway Chapter unless the partners can prove “solid public support” for the massive project by the end of the year.
“Though we would like to see this project move forward, if solid public support cannot be attained before Dec. 31, 2012, the Shelly-Jim Administration will have to withdraw our support for the project and the MOU,” the letter reads, referring to a memorandum of understanding established between the tribe and the firm in February.
“It has always been my position; in order for this economic project to succeed it is imperative to have local support,” Shelly wrote, noting that the MOU stipulates that Confluence Partners will obtain “approvals from the affected customary land users and home site permittees, as well as presentations to the local Chapters.”
