disperses tippage fees from
Finley Butte Landfill. The
grant was divided between

LAND IN THE RIGHT LOCATION
If you’re looking for land
as an investment, one o f the
key factors in your buying
decision will be finding land
in the right location. No mat
ter what kind o f land you’re
interested in. whether residen
tial, industrial or commercial,
you’ll want to invest in land
that will be in the path o f the
city’s growth.
It may be five years or
longer before this growth ma
terializes, but when you buy
land in the right location you
stand to make a substantial
profit. One clue to the future
is past real estate trends. For
instance, if you ’re looking
for land with a potential for
industrial development, I can
show you those and other pat
terns o f growth over the past
10 or 20 years.
Land is one commodity
that never becom es more
plentiful. Its availability tends
to decrease over the years.
More important, its value
tends to increase substantially
when you buy land in the right
location. Let me show you
what I have to offer.
