Alter City Group is planning to start phase one of the $360-million US dollar project as early as June.

It says if the CNMI government agencies expedite the permitting process, they are ready to start building the 500-room hotel.

Later phases will include an 18-hole golf course over 75 hectares of land.

But the company says the golf course can't go ahead until a dumpsite is relocated from the proposed land.
