We wanted to maximize the opportunities for each of these projects. It?s been very much a collaborative effort with all these companies.

As an agency, our model is not really one that works well with one-off projects.

Usually these types of projects need to have some sort of statewide benefit.

We have a lot of irons in the fire, and until some major projects get taken care of, City Hall will have to do where it is. I would like to find a way to lower the tax levy (rate) before we take on that project. No land has been purchased and I personally don't see that happening in the very near future.

The in-town projects are opening up the centers of our communities to accommodate some of the growth that is coming, ... We've got 18,000 new people moving here a year. If everyone is going to build on acre lots, we are in trouble.
