Permits Matter!!
I think this recent Iowa case is the first I have heard of where a developer’s permitting failure may lead to decommissioning.
This case is worth watching, while on appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court.
From a valuation standpoint, the lesson is permits matter, even after project construction is complete.
