"The intent is tbere by both parties and that's the important thing."1 An informed source has said that the agree-. ment, which states that First City shall pay al costs relating to the deveiopment, will be agreed to by the developer. That view bas yet to be made officiai by either the developer or the region. There is a cioud on the horizon for the develop- ment, however. JIane Ppinoma lawyer
