And if possible considering the extreme shortage of vacant commercial properties for lease around the state right now, perhaps don't limit the discussion to just historic buildings. We have both historic buildings and really desirable commercial buildings being used for this purpose right now....probably almost as many of those as we have vacant commercial spaces for lease.
