Most of Converse is ok but not near the Big Red plant or in front of Wagner High

Land is still speculative, you'll sell at the top of a boom, but developers don't want to hold raw land.We are seeing demand for industrial product as a result of the TI semi conductor plant in Sherman, places in Denison, Sherman and Allen are getting more tenant inquiries on vacant spaces.

@Michael Plante thank you for the advice, really appreciate it

My house value (according to Zillow, etc.) has risen 5% since this announcement :) Intel did this in Washinton county Oregon when they spent 10 billion on fab plants 10 years or so ago right in the middle of the GFC that single handedly kept this part of Oregon from Cratering.. my Daughter has worked for intel for 16 years now and since pandemic no longer has to go to the office..

The city is seeing growth from the arrival of a $20 billion Intel chip plant and other businesses expanding like Amazon and Honda.

Intel is investing $20 billion to build chip manufacturing plants in Licking County, which is projected to create 30,000 new jobs.

Time to plant some white pines.  

Once it's all painted, add some light touches of color and life with some silk plants and nice window coverings.  

I know of investors who have done this using the "whole block" strategy, and I have a reasonable feel for it in my own little area, but outside of that my experience of what makes a neighborhood 'come back':No intrinsic reason for decline other than decline - i.e. it's not next door to a sewage plant or trash dumpHouses were reasonably well-built and well-sized to begin with Within easy walking distance of anything worth getting to - a downtown, a really nice park, a fantastic library, a great shopping centerA high ratio of owner-occupied to rental property(Sad but true) A low percentage of immigrants and minority groups (this could include whites depending on the area); there are still a lot of prejudiced buyers/renters out thereA perception of physical & personal safetyReasonably close to centers of employment

I know Foxconn is building a huge plant in the area, so if everything goes right, it should be a good place to invest.
