Damian Ulatowski-Is it on a lot that has been cleared recently. Nancy Lowery-I haven’t been over there in a bit so ] don’t know what recently has been done but I think it is by another apartment complex. Damian Ulatowski-Yes there is another apartment complex in the area and I noticed a piece of land a few acres, that had been cleared recently and I was wondering if that is where it was. Nancy Lowery-That would make sense because it is a 2.39 acre parcel. Damian Ulatowski-Alright. Thank you.
Nancy Lowery-I was over there a couple months ago and at that point there hadn’t been a whole lot going on but maybe there has been activity since then.
Nancy Lowery-Is there any other comment you would like to make. Damian Ulatowski-No, I just wanted an orientation of it.
