t’s hard to believe we are in the final month of 2019! We have been overwhelmed with the generosity and support of our community this year. To all those who have given any resources (time, support and financially), we say THANK YOU. It’s only though the efforts and support of our community that we can continue and be successful.
From the start of Rockton Strong, transparency has been key. Transparency of the process, and just as important, transparency as to the financials. Every month we have provided a view into where the funding has been used and where we stand as far as the case, with this month being no exception. Here’s the facts for December:
1. To date, donations have totaled $25,621.17. We have invested over $14,500 in legal costs thus far. Over 93% of funds spent has gone directly to legal costs. The remainder has been spent on organizational filing costs, permits, and insurance.
2. During the month of November, we incurred the following expenses:
COB: $120.18
TOTAL EXPENSES NOVEMBER 2019 $120.18
3. The legal fight continues. Our next court date is JAN 15, 2020. We've now managed to delay the construction of the asphalt plant by over one year. We find it encouraging that we have delayed past one season of construction and, with winter ahead, potentially another season. Beginning in January, we expect to start discussing depositions and expect the case to accelerate into trial in short order. We will update as soon as the hearing on the 15th has wrapped.

We are humbled and THANKFUL for the support we've received thus far. As 2019 comes to a close, PLEASE consider matching your 2018 contribution or making your first contribution in 2019.
Thank-you for making this community ROCKTON STRONG.
