And so, we have a chunk of area that not used. Thank you. And about 30 percent lets. About 30 acres. And 30 acres are available. So that area that we are talking about there, is that the landfill or is it the below sea level or what . Why, why do we, or would we have to give piles in order to have storage.

And so it is on the landfill, and it is uneven terrain, and so if we built anything, there, it would, the foundation would be unsettled and continue to settle and no one will want to build there without having a Stronger Foundation and a Stronger Foundation will require the piles of driving, which is extremely expensive. For the industrial property. And the only think that we can do here based on the plans
