“Question, you said you've got a lot of data, and I think I heard you say that we, right now, we produce on our own about six megawatts. Do you happen to have at your fingertips what our daily requirements are?”

“In a perfect world. Yes. But about a million and a half dollars per megawatt. And then the question that would then become, if we had to borrow that money and pay it all back, does our revenue stream support that kind of debt? A lot of questions. A lot of questions.”

And my tweak started out as permitting, you know, small animal hospitals with no boarding, veterinary clinics in B1A in a standalone building on a lot of not less than 13,500 square feet. And then James recommended some of the changes in the other categories. However, as presented, As I stated at the time, I'd been contacted by a couple of different unrelated veterinarians about their difficulty in finding suitable locations…”
