MD Response: RSI Group we will add Robert P Lombardo to this sheet as he is a Chief Officer of the LLC Also, page 2 states that the goal is to attend the Historic Preservation Board hearing.

We have applied for a HPB Permit (Permit #23-0583). One of the items listed on the permit (see below in yellow) is that we need to register to speak at this hearing.
