He stated that what they want to do is drill down to what Pequot Lakes specific market needs are, listening to the realtors that meet with the contractors in the area to see if what they are trying to do is even feasible from the standpoint of the different phases of housing that are needed. He stated they are trying to define that so they are not running off in the wrong direction and that we're doing something based on need and economic feasibility. He said that by May they should have most of it together. Mr. Jurchen said they will be finishing the inventory of lots since part of the housing study is to go back in and look at what you have and focusing primarily on places where you already have infrastructure.
