Looks like the development crew is all over the new land acquired! Looks good to me!! Good luck with the construction.
Mark, I think you are absolutely correct about your story above and the 'maintenance comes from another budget' is also spot on. I worked for a very large company for 20 years that operated the same way. It just never made sense to me so I finally quit and went elsewhere. The big wigs in the big corporations seem to look at things a lot differently than the folks doing the work.
Also, they were constantly trying to reinvent the wheel for everything they were doing...I have a good story or two about that as well!
