Biomass Investigative Review Will Begin Soon in Gainesville, FL

– October 16, 2014, WCJB

It’s official – an investigative review into decisions made between GRU and GREC officials will soon begin.

City officials voted to approve the contract to begin the review that will question decisions made relating to the biomass plant.

The city will be shelling out close to $190,000 for the review. Additional costs will need to be approved by city officials. Navigant is expected to conduct interviews and go through memos, emails and other documents between GRU and GREC officials between October 2007 and November 2013. At the end of the months-long process, the firm will be expected to make recommendations to improve similar processes in the future.

“We’ve had some decisions that quite frankly were questionable in the past, that while i don’t think necessarily there’s anything that we can do about them, we’ve asked somebody to come look at it,” City Commissioner Todd Chase explained.

City officials expect the entire review to be completed in February of next year.
