Thanks. That makes sense.

As a government entity, I suppose they want to make sure that they do their due diligence to prevent public backlash if land is sold to a developer who builds something that's not popular. By going through this process first, they can at least say that the public was engaged in the process.

That said, it does seem a little wasteful, but unfortunately that's government (and politics in general).
