We'll have an incredible critical mass for purchasing, we think there's some working capital opportunities, so there's a lot of opportunities. |
What (the city is) trying to do is keep low-income people out of Florissant. |
When those citizens actively take part in their community and alert police to the presence of juvenile delinquency or truancy in their neighborhood it really helps us to get those individuals off the street and get them back in school. |
You would think it would be more expensive to build a project like this in Des Moines or Sioux City than in Storm Lake, but we are finding that may not be the case. |
