Primary sources first
County agendas, state permits, utility filings and court records come before press releases. Each value shows where it came from.
A timeline, not a label
Every project carries a dated history, from first filing to the latest vote, lawsuit or permit.
Neutral by design
We record what developers, officials and residents say, and attribute it. No advocacy either way.
