That's what happens when you're lucky enough to land a John Ramistella on your team. He will take it upon himself to get the job done.

If we don't do it now, our chances of acquiring beachfront land for beachfront parks will be extremely limited if not curtailed. Right now, as you know, most of the mom-and-pop hotels are being purchased and being converted into luxury condominiums.

The land-use decisions made throughout the county do not consider air quality at any step along the way. It's only a matter of time before we experience a significant decline in the air quality as a result of our region's growth.

It's a similar block of land like what you have here with some private houses on it, and that was a stumbling block for him. We would probably need to get control of the houses [in order for a deal with Sharma to take place]. We would probably need to purchase the houses.

Everything comes down to economics. The incentive is to sell the land to non-ag buyers,

I don't think the subdivision of this block of land will bring much detriment when you consider the development that has gone on around it.
