Financials were discussed as a draw down from hrant money and a checking account was referenced with a $50 deposit from the chairwoman yet no financial statement appears as a disclosure on their website nor were specifics disclosed to the public via the meeting. 

The facilities search continues with a number of properties still under consideration including the formet 1800 Flowers Call Center Building, the Precheck building near Mesa Verde and a church property. A concern was raised concerning each by the chair that rent is covered fir year one via the launch grant but they face a cliff in year 2 as funding is based upon enrollment and or any potential grants or angel donors. The state is scheduling a visit to tour the proposed properties for sign off.
