Who is going to turn the stone when everyone everyone gets breaks? This community like any other is run on property taxes. May I join your group? I'd love to develop my land and not pay taxes.....

Did you receive a NMTC allocation through the latest allocation award? If so, what is your plan to deploy the capital?

Dan, we didn’t receive an allocation award for the latest NMTC round as we didn’t apply. We’re still setting things up to allow for our application to be as attractive as possible.

Well played, Luke! I am so glad to have made your acquaintance at Drews Realty last week. I look forward to developing alongside and, hopefully, along with you, as I've seen Hillsdale as a lost gem since before moving here in '07. We're building businesses that will last and grow with a growing city - so long as it grows around the people - to make this a hub for not just education, but the character, developed talent, and grounded innovation the best school ever engenders. 4 generations of my family are now here, coming in from the coasts, as the value is already here so far as quality of life is concerned, and we're all #BullishOnHillsdale!

Cheers,

David Hambleton, USN - Ret.

P.S. I'd love to share with you a vision I pitched at the college for the old Fayette-and-West Street Schoolhouse a few years ago for an educational craft shop supporting old house renovation arts and a coffee shop just to make it hip. Rich P liked it, but asked for a Michigan minute to see how it could be arranged, meaning it was nowhere in the budget - yet.

Also, if you've read this far, you may be interested in five major fiber optic loops that pass within a few miles of town, making us a natural point of presence for a server farm - especially one like https://rightforge.com/. We could make ridiculously low response speeds ubiquitous for American hosting services from Atlanta to Chicago to New York and Boston, let alone a re-emergent Detroit.
