Notable Quotes (2)
We think that we have sufficient property to be able to build these new facilities on a new campus on some... piece of property or properties that we already own, which would end up saving us and and obviously our residents, taxpayers uh quite a lot of money.

We're hoping that we are uh breaking ground on a new city hall facility and and kind of the associated parts of that part of our campus facilities by 2027 and hopefully into a new building by 2028.
