I saw the paper version of the Eastern Echo this morning, and as part of slightly updated story on the approved monies (“Pray-ers get answered by state”), they have this handy graphic to help would-be renovation pool entrants figure out which date to select:

This picture is way too small– it looks better in the paper– but basically, the date suggested by the sort of fuzzy border between the design and construction phase in the middle of the image is September 2010. So, if you are an optimist and want to pick a date in line with what EMU officials are (apparently) saying right now, think in terms of some time in fall 2010. If you are less of an optimist, pick later. So far, there’s only been one pick by MathGeek of April 30, 2011.
