Now I know that some of you boosters are going to say that we should be supporting development. But screw that, I say giant corporations should pay the market price.

Just to follow up on this—where do you find that $10,000/acre for FCL is only half of market value? I believe you, but where can I find this? The CJME link here says the purchase is at market value: https://www.cjme.com/2021/11/05/regina-m...fits-of-proposed-renewable-diesel-plant/

Prairie Lithium’s pilot processing facility is in a small, unassuming building in Emerald Park 10 minutes east of Regina — but if its work pans out, it could have large potential for Saskatchewan, this could turn out to be huge

Personal knowledge of previous sales in the market. So feel free to believe me or not.

The city will tell you they got an appraisal. Appraisals are quite simply one opinion that will be pushed and pulled to get to a desired conclusion.

Does anyone know what they are building at the University on the west side of campus between Wascana Parkway and the most western north-south road on campus?

They are just installing new sewer infrastructure. Not very exciting!

About time for a new building in the research park. How long has it been since the last build?

I believe there are significant vacancies, so it seems unlikely any time soon.

I think one would be built if it's actually needed, not based on some arbitrary time period.

Obviously. Lol

Maybe they should rename it the Research Transportation Hub and pitch it to money launderers.

But how does it reduce methane release? Are they planning to capture the methane?
