Issue/project: Opening of ACE Hardware's first store in Lebanon. 
Specific Actions Taken:  ACE Hardware applied for a construction 
permit on October 25, 2007 to build its first outlet in Beirut.

had been delayed and was put on hold.  On July 25, 2008, Mr. Mel 
Gregory, Ace Regional Director, approached Embassy's commercial 
section seeking assistance to expedite the permit process. 
Consequently, Charge D'Affaires sent letters to Minister of Public 
Works, Minister of Economy and Trade and President of Metn 
Municipalities seeking their help in expediting ACE's application. 
Moreover, in August 2008, Ambassador and DCM followed up on the 
issue with Minister of Public Works and Minister of Economy.  As a

construction permit and, on January 29, 2009, ACE opened its first 
outlet in Beirut.
