The Howe Community Facilities Development Corporation voted July 3, 2025, to pursue a contract for a development identified in the minutes as "Project Hotel" and to retain Munson Law Firm as real estate counsel to prepare the contract. The meeting minutes state Kent Lowder moved to obtain a contract under the terms discussed with the owner and Brandon Grooms seconded; the motion passed with all present voting in favor.

Separately in the same action block the board approved contracting Munson Law Firm to draw the real estate contract and specified Penny Brown as the attorney to handle the matter. Brandon Grooms made the motion to move forward with Munson Law Firm; Kent Lowder seconded and the minutes record unanimous approval among those present.

The minutes identify "Project Hotel" only by that placeholder name; they do not include the owner's name, financial terms, timeline for execution, or development specifics. The recorded actions are limited to authorization to obtain a contract and to retain outside counsel; no contract text or funding authorization appears in the minutes.
