THE DETAILS:

All infrastructure is in place. We've completed an enhancement to our water system and one to our commercial septic system is upcoming. In addition, we are completing a primary electric in upgrade in order to ensure higher voltage, now and in the future, as rigs and ancillary structures continue to demand more. Other community improvements and the addition of amenities are continuing throughout our now, nearly 50-acre, site.
