Staff and the Task Force received very good information from these individuals. The reason this was done was to lessen the amount of mistakes that could be made. Orduno stated that there was a reevaluation done and it was commented that this location is an ideal site because of 35W on the east, 118 on the south and an industrial park for a northern border as there are not $250,000 houses next to the golf course that can be hit with golf balls.
