What this means
The board gave the hotel developer more time to finish construction and to meet the job-related benchmarks needed to qualify for the agreed incentives. For residents this means the hotel project remains active and has until the new deadline to complete work and meet hiring targets rather than being immediately declared in default. Two board members did not participate in the vote because they recused themselves.
