<br />have already been pre-screened out and are provided in a separate table for your information. You will
<br />given the opportunity to make a case for adding specific projects back in based on your rational at the
<br />screening committee meeting. Also, a map indicating the location of each project is provide to give you a
<br />spacial context.
