Darren looks like you guys will be pretty busy for the next year or so.

The way things are looking today - I would predict 10 -15 years of strong growth for our area. The ground breaking for the billion dollar + NBAF facility here in Manahttan has lit a fire under our commercial growth. It was strong over the last few years while the rest of the country faced a down turn, and now....look out!

Darren, congratulations on your job security. Welcome to my world of 10 square miles and a staff of 4; B.O., Plans Examiner and 2 inspectors along with 2 Permit Techs.

Almost forgot, we are having to share a car for about 3 mos. while waiting for a new one; the frame rusted out.
