“While we were all certainly disappointed not to be selected as a finalist, I have to say that everyone here felt honored and privileged to have made it as far along in the process as we did. It really was a terrific experience – from the initial LOI to the site visit (which was one of the better site visits I’ve ever experienced!).”
