The new highway connecting Barnesworth and Stains has taken around six months to build since construction finally began in March this year. The M22 project was the subject of great controversy when it was first proposed in January 2009. While local residents of Barnesworth and Stains were enthusiastic about its capacity to facilitate economic development in the region, environmental activists expressed concern. They suggested that the new highway, which cuts through Langham Forest, could destroy the habitat of the endangered spotted bill bird, potentially driving this native species to extinction. However, activists and government officials eventually reached a compromise, with the original proposal slightly rerouted so that a nature reserve could be established. Carl Peters of Varney & Saunder, the contractor who worked on the project, announced that construction is complete. He said that, while the stretch of road still needs to be inspected by traffic engineers and fitted with appropriate signage, it should be open in time for the holiday weekend starting on April 25. An official opening ceremony, which will be attended by Barnesworth Mayor Les Pattison and Stains Chancellor Fiona Du Pont, will be held on April 22. Members of the community are welcome to attend.What will happen on April 22AA public ceremony will take place.BA holiday weekend will begin.CA construction project will commenceDA political committee will meet. 2.Do you want to return an item In accordance with New Jersey law, Mandys Toy Store allows customers to return any product for any reason within 30 days of the purchase date.

I look forward to hearing about it when you return in two weeks. You will be relieved to hear that everything is running smoothly in the office. Our guests from China are scheduled to leave at 4 pm today, so I will go to the airport to see them off. The negotiations went very well, and we have successfully secured a purchasing agreement with their company. For your interest, I have attached a copy of the final deal with this email. In other news, the accounting department has finished putting together the budget report for this quarter. The document will be sent to the board for approval tomorrow. I have taken a look at the report, and it looks very promising. The best news is that our decision to relocate to our new Quadrant Lane headquarters is paying off, as our overhead costs are predicted to be significantly lower than they were for our downtown property. Lastly, the public relations department is putting together the program for our new product launch. It looks as though the event will be held at the function room in St. Vivians Shopping Center next Friday. Regards, Jake Lowe Acting Managing Director KY Electronics From: Anika Andersen To: Jake Lowe Subject: Re: This week Dear Jake, Thank you for your email. It sounds like you have everything under control. After reviewing the attached document you sent, I was very pleased with the deal you managed to strike with the Chinese manufacturing firm. You deserve great praise for your efforts. The only concern I have is about the product launch next Friday. I recall going to a function at St. Vivians Shopping Center last year and being very disappointed with the facilities. Instead, I recommend that the event be held at Henderson Mall. There is a wonderful function room there fully equipped with modern amenities. Moreover, the catering there is delicious and reasonably priced. I think the event will run much more successfully at that location.
