Take all of the security used to secure this debt into the same vehicle. Each developer would be allowed to keep a limited portion of their assets if they give complete cooperation. get a team of Architechts , engimeers and business people to run this group. Allow this group to borrow to work through all of the different sites and all of the profits from thwe developments be used to repay the debt at whatever rate make sure that the plannig in all cases can be fast tracked on the basis that a good return on these assets will reduce the exposure for the state this could be done over say ten years and i believe this group could make a substantial profit. Any developer wishing to take advantage of this scheme must assist with site plans and any other expertise etc in order to avoid being made completely bankrupt Split all of the debt according to its basis .i all development debt put into one vehicle.
