Around 30 years back it was a shovel ready, proposed to build a shopping center, alas personal life took a major detour the project had to be canned.Now a major Hospital from Bethlehem PA is in process of building a 80 bed hospital across my land.

R&D was expanded to include any US company that increased efficiency as part of the "shovel ready jobs".

They take the bins out, shovel the driveway, and are very respectful.As for the inspection some housing authorities will take a cert. of habitability/occupancy that is done by the city.

Are your tenants going to shovel the walk every time it snows? 

We actually will refuse to manage a property if the owner insists on having the tenant shovel snow.
