It took the Guam governor’s office two years to give the people of Guam an explanation for their refusal to build a hospital at the site of the old one.

Circled in red is likely the real reason for the delay in information. It also contradicts the second reason given (the fault line); for, why would anyone invest in anything on that property if the risk was great, or the hazard risk could not be mitigated?
