Quote
1

11
There has been much talk referencing what I consider conceptual reports like the Landscape of Choice and documents created as a result of the Great Valley Center.
12
High tech companies that focus on research, development and production will learn that they can be the perfect complement to our world-renowned agriculture heritage.

In fact, even the perception of a resurgence in crime can be enough to paralyze business momentum and destroy the sense of security that a vibrant and progressive city requires.

22
Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime.
