These interviews are instrumental not only in testing the proposed development program, but in mobilizing support and identifying potential local "investors" for the project. In this regard, they are essentially "pre - negotiation" interviews. Note: In order to maximize the value and impact of these interviews, we propose that the City arrange to have the interviews conducted in a one -day, continuous format. Interviews would be conducted in a central location by Leland Consulting Group representatives. Interviewees will be provided with information and materials in advance, so that they come prepared to actively participate. • Based on research and analyses completed in previous tasks, review, and modify if necessary, the existing development program for the proposed HARP site. Our review will consider the following: • Project size and overall image /theme • Mix of development types • Development square footages • Sale prices and lease rates • Development timing /phasing • Interrelationship between public space and private projects • Formulate initial strategies for engaging and attracting private sector investment in the HARP project.
