As Trace, she explained explicitly to us is that, hey, listen, it's not all going to be an escrow for this specific amount. This is what the specific year was, and here's the first one, the two-point, whatever it is right there as well. Then after that, they're going to keep looking and revisit and looking at that.

“And I'm going to bother, I'm going to bother, borrow one of Jonathan's terms, is that make it an issue i mean in all sincerity i mean this is this is the problem it's not it you know you're saying have we done the analysis for it okay so let me go and do the corollary of that show me where that's going to inhibit that because anything that we've seen so far is we're talking about that utilization of a new facility to go ahead and jump growth and economic progress based on what we're seeing in the marketplace for such a facility in the state of Texas, least of which here in Central Texas.

City of Austin, some other cities that we have around here, they, you got folks who may not live in there for their for some of these committees and some of these other groups that they have going on where they want to invite participation.
