A certain amount of efficiency is needed in the hunt. We don't want to chase birds off the land.

When they traveled, it was like a 7-Eleven. That land was a hardware store, a pharmacy. It was a supermarket. It blows me away that people find this remarkable.

It's the availability to get the land on good-size parcels. There's a lot of acreage in Lehigh Acres. That's about the only place left.

There are a lot of members that do not know what is going on with this land swap deal. We agreed that issue wouldn't be brought up until the new board is seated.

It all starts with the price of the land. Show me another market that is selling land for $700,000 an acre that's not looking at the ocean. We don't have enough, and it's priced too high.

It's up to the land and zoning committee. Anything I have will be turned over to them. It will be addressed at their meeting.
