The estimate of the cost and assessed value of the Company's proposed development of the Site is reasonable for projects of a similar nature. The estimate of the number of individuals who will be employed (i.e., approximately 76 new FTEs) can be reasonably expected to result from the Company's proposed improvement of the Site.
