They are all here, or have been here recently and are doing their analysis on the market here. They are also working with one another to look at co-location opportunities. I think that you are going to see one or more of them make a move very shortly, as opposed to long-term. I think you're going to see something happen quite quickly. |
With a developer of their credibility and track record, it means you would have someone capable of pulling together premier retailers that would be of huge benefit to the greater Moses Lake-Grant County community. They can provide the critical mass to bring several (retailers) at one time, as opposed to one here, one there. Having this company involved definitely turns the viability of the project up a notch. |
