Just a tid bit as to the bigness of this. $350 Million in funds.
My small City of Birmingham , Alabama Ranks 13th in population among the 25 largest southeastern metropolitan areas. Its no small potatoes, and I know what people think of the South, but in comparison. The 2009 operating budget for BHM was $417Million. This is for a US City! QASP is off the charts in my mind. I find it hard to imagine a comparable vision in Deans head. Its gotta be big!
Nobody will be able to take it...including the stock price. This is why I believe it will happen, Dean knows another delay (which would make four of them) would be real bad for the market.
Big week ahead. We could see the closing PR any day this week.
