HEY congratulations you two love birds

Honey & Vinegar Real Estate Capital and Grummkin Community Development Lending and Investment have facilitated a combined $439.4 million loan for the redevelopment and preservation of the southwest Oldeshire "rust belt" corridor, after the Shire Government passed the iSORES Act of 2020 last week to encourage redevelopment and growth of stagnant communities.

The financing also includes a $160.6 million equity investment and an $191.6 million construction loan.

The corridor stretches between Silex Civis in the north to as far south as the Oldeshire southern coast, and as far east as Mini Tirith. These communities are among the oldest and most neglected communities of the Shire. Communities impacted:

*Gray Havens

*New Vashon

*Telston

*Archspire

*Chowder

*Mini Tirith

*Roma

*and several surrounding, unorganized communities

Also included in the iSORES act in Whitevale, a town in northwest Oldeshire.

The upcoming rehabilitation is set to include roof replacements, infrastructure modernization, new public safety facilities, replacement of domestic water supply and waste plumbing as well as accessibility upgrades. Building renovations such as kitchen, bathroom, flooring and interior door improvements are also planned. The investment plan also encourages new construction and future growth with subsidized mortgages.

--------------------

^Not pictured - Gray Havens (where the arrow is pointing) and Whitevale. Whitevale is straight north of this area, close to the big pyramid and Slyy's mansions.

^Pictured but limited remodeling available: Sunspear (landscaping only) and Grittle (landscaping, road work only unless approved by vort3xACE)

The lands northwest of Gray Havens are totally open and available as well.

This whole area is in need of the TLC. Any yeoman+ that are interested in remodeling, redeveloping, or adding on to the towns listed or areas beyond the worldguard regions, please let me know your ideas.

You can easily get to these areas w/ /warp vashon, /warp minas, and /warp whitevale, or head south of /warp silex.

Done

"TheMadHammer" claimed that area. He spent like 2 weeks making the glowstone border and then bailed.

I'll check out the area more closely and remove the glowstone if we decide it's a good spot for you.

I'll be using this thread to keep track of railways that need tunnel work and which ones are completed. Feel free to do the same and join in the fun of getting these finished:

Aether Line: All tunnels complete. Track broken at Belthil - switches you to the wrong side and then sends you backwards. Pending repairs.

Cerelia Line: FULTON JUNCTION IS BUSTED - sends you back the way you came. Tunnels complete from FULFWOTZ to LOST. CLEMENTINE underground needs lighting. Both 'FOUND' STATIONS are incomplete. Transition to underground in FOUND is unfinished. Transition underground past KALDARON is unfinished. *CERELIA LINE IS SEVERED HERE!* Lines are good from MODAORA to RIVERWOOD.

East Shire Transit: Line still under construction

Dulcia: Rail around DUOMO could use some attention. Otherwise, Dulcia is COMPLETE.

Empire: All tunnels complete. Tunnel between SAGUARIA and PALUSTRIS is a good remodel opportunity. [Line is unfinished].

Franco: Appears to be primarily a rail line in theory only. Good service to Lythia from New Venice.
