"In the end, developers Ray Gill and Desai Hotel Group were rewarded for reworking plans numerous times to resolve concerns of Germantown residents and city planners."

TRAVURE TRAVAILS: After years of planning, amendments, adjustments, accommodations and acquiescing, developer Ray Gill is running out of patience and diplomacy regarding his TraVure development on Germantown’s west side.

"We stressed three years ago that we must have a traffic signal for the beginning of our development, not when later phases are built," Gill said in an email. He says Germantown city leaders, who agreed to the light, are developing a reputation with developers for not sticking to their word."
