Impact analysis
While exact dollar amounts aren't public yet, fighting federal agencies in court or dealing with unexpected infrastructure strains could end up costing taxpayers.
No groups clearly benefit from this lack of communication, though federal agencies might advance their operational goals.
Surprise residents and local leaders get the short end of the stick, losing their say in what happens in their own backyards.
