Proposal process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:7.5pt;text-align:justify;line-height:16.8pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">The process for development of the Strategic Plan will include several public meetings, including a Market site
visit and vendor meeting on October 27 and a public meeting on October 29, 2012. Zaretsky will also join Moscow citizens to facilitate additional public meetings to be held throughout the duration of the development of the plan, the next in early December
