done next to improve the East Side for future tenants.

interested in building a hangar on the Southwest corner on the West Side of the

lay out of his building. Josh Myrick was asked to send Mr Gillis a copy of a lease

may need to be done on the East Side, possible changes to layout and different
options to help with financing of upcoming projects.
