I enjoyed reading your post, can I ask a question related to this and the CRL?

I wonder in this proposal who gets the benefit of developing the surrounding areas. For example, to use our friends to the north as an example, the cost of the team's investment was offset by the owner using the increased value in the surrounding lands and related development.

Is there anything like this going on in the CS&E proposal that you can comment on? Are there specific interests which stand to benefit?
