Just wanted to say Hi, I have my MBA from BGSU in 2009...I have always said I have never been promoted or hired for my MBA (I am a project manager in the Environmental Services industry) but my investments in Toledo have been performed admirably. 

I did all my due diligence, environmental study, architectural preliminary plan.

There are probably some environmental concerns to look out for with Sodo, the transfer station (dump), and the Duwamish all so close by.

But now they are environmental nightmares with dirt roads cut into 20 to 30 degree slopes with no erosion controls..  

That is Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.

- Proximity to our main (and public) location ... 10 mins drive away - Affordability- Existing Improvements & Layout (structures w/ concrete flooring, electric, water well, laydown yard, barbed wire fencing)- Semi-Private location (this will not be a business site where our customers will visit) It's tough for me to get over the environmental concerns of the Junkyard next door. 

We use detailed and defined industrial processes for all of our environmental testing.  

As a land broker, I've noticed many times that people buy "cheap" properties at tax sale, but later it turns out that the previous owner who defaulted on the taxes didn't necessarily lose it because they didn't have money/couldn't afford the tax bill, but rather because they realized the property doesn't have legal access, doesn't have good zoning, has environmental or topographical challenges, etc, so instead of having an lifetime of useless tax payments, they default and let it go to tax sale. 

Topography & ECA: Is the lot steep, lots of trees, a river, wetlands, or other environmentally critical areas that will either increase the cost of development or make development impossible?

I'm sure there are environmental issues with this, but I would be terrified of a fire - even years after the treatment.
