just that, by creating a pathway to seeing projects such as these come to life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the CDF, a total of $37,642XCD will be provided for this phase of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> We are looking forward to this partnership with the team at the NPA and seeing the successful outcome which will ultimately see such an important project come to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The outcome of the feasibility study will inform the progress of this project, including identifying which spaces carry the best capture of light, with the lowest risks, and to inform the heritage impact assessments, which will have to follow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The funds from this grant will go towards this initial study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div
