Considering they are scouring EB-5 visa folks for $3 mill for a small spot in Port Orange this is still vaporware.

"So excited to finally announce our Vertical Medical City - Orlando Founding Advisory Board ; Our 7 Advisory Board Members will help make this new facility the world-class destination we have all envisioned, to create the best most successful outcome of each of our residents, staff, and visitors."

 

Is it just me or does it seem like a conflict of interest for someone who works with the City since it has to approve the building or is he exempt?

One would assume he would recuse himself.

In his role at the City he does not vote on anything. I don't see any issue with his involvement.

That's kind of where I was going there.  If, and only if, he was to vote on something that was a conflict you would assume he will be compelled to recuse himself.

Not like from everything.  People who work for governments serve on boards all the time.  They just have to receive adequate training on when they need to declare/recuse.

I think what triggered my interest was that he was quoted on its likelihood in the media a few times about our beloved Ron Paul Memorial VMC.

LOL.  I just remembered that meme from before.

Another year has passed by and we’re still breathlessly awaiting the FABULOUS Vertical Medical City!

Maybe Ron Paul will make an on-site visit in 2020!

I believe! Personally, I'm waiting for Pat Williams and Ms. Ponte to get together and include a baseball stadium at VMC!

It’s a race between this and Zoi House.

We know ours is going nowhere fast, has the one in Chicago broken ground yet? 

[popsiclebrandon]

It honestly gets funnier with each press release.

My question from the beginning was how a relatively young architect had the expertise in development to make this occur. What we’ve seen is an endless parade of plans submitted, which is what an architect might do. I seem to have been correct in wondering where her actual development chops would come from.

How did Ted Mosby land the Goliath National Bank building?  Sometimes you just are a young architect and the cards all fall the right way.
