The NCC should work with them to refine and improve the original proposal and get it done.

It is unclear exactly what these billionaires are bringing to the table. They were very late additions to the bid, made no public appearance, gave no detailed interviews and have provided no details of their role.
Are they investors, philanthropists, just (theoretically) interested in hockey, paid or unpaid endorsements, etc.?
The other investors are pretty small potatoes for a project of this size. Devcore is a mid-sized builder of exurban houses and Mirens is a mid-sized owner of car dealerships (which explains the car-centric development).
I would rather they start over then hand the project over to Devcore without a viable plan. If in fact the billionaires are willing to put big money into the project then they should say something.
