Read the case study “Chapter Case: Town of Eden Bay (Part 2)” on page 121 of the textbook AND “Chapter Case: Town of Eden Bay (Part 3) on Page 170 of the textbook. Do this as one case study.

The Case Study Review should include (3 ½ pages)

· This does not include title pages or reference pages

· This is at least 3 ½ written pages (page 4 must be at least a ½ of a page)

· Summary of the case

· This should be thorough enough (but not plagiarized (meaning in your own words)) to give a reader who has not read the case a very good idea of what is going on

· Answer to the questions at the end of the case which are based on the textbook readings or outside sources (these are not your opinion but you can include comments)
