I think, really, you know, having that kind of a bridge of connectivity. It’s a great asset. So, I mean, we, our plan is to continue what’s going on over there for a while, then study and figure out what the right thing to do is for the community there in Neptune Beach and how do we, you know, improve what we’ve got there,” Khan said.
