BACKGROUND
On December 5, 2022, ANC 3/4G created a Task Force made up of Commissioners and members of the community to monitor the construction phase of the ECC/Maret field project. The purpose of the Task Force is to ensure that ECC/Maret and their General Contractor (GC) uphold the commitments made in regard to the construction of the new field at the ECC in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that was signed between Maret and the ANC in March 2022. The MOU called for the creation of the Field Task Force. The MOU consists of the ANC Resolution and the conditions Maret agreed to with the ANC. You can read the MOU here:
