a project proponent as well as the Cooperation Agreement between the developer and the BRA prior to its<br />

to the process that allows for greater understanding by the BRA of local concerns and greater public insight<br />
into the thinking of the BRA and other public agencies involved in the development review process.<br />

BRA. The IAG for the Project was established in June 2012.<br />
