We all agree that in economic development,

time is of the essence. Being prepared ahead of
time and having buildings and sites ready is
absolutely paramount. By having a product, you
then have something to sell. Like the analogy
goes, nobody buys a car from a dealer that
doesnt have any cars on his lot.
