Status of Acquisitions

As the VA seeks to break ground symbolically tomorrow, it's interesting to look at the status of property acquisitions in the footprints for the proposed medical complexes.

Here are the numbers for private property acquisition as of May 2010, the most recent I could find, per a report by the contractor, as linked to by the Louisiana Department of Administration:

VA Footprint:

 25 closings completed out of 194 total parcels to acquire.

LSU Footprint:

10 closings completed out of 245 parcels to acquire.


If anyone has more up to date figures, I would like to see them.  But it seems there's still a rather long way to go.
