Our Customer base has grown such that our current facility is no longer adequate, In terms of size or location. Our expansion plans call for our new facility to be just under 20,000 square feet, with employment opportunities for at least thirty (30) people. Our estimated expenses to construct our new tacility are around $800,000. Depending on the degree of fmish out that we choose, the costs could easily be higher, In addition to these expenses we will be bringing with us equipment and personal property with a value in excess of $1,000,000. Once we occupy our new facility we will be looking to purchase additional equipment. We will be requesting the maximum abatements possible and look tor your guidance in any other possible relief available.
