Parker & Stone, Inc., is looking at setting up a new manufacturing plant in South Park to produce garden tools. The company bought some land 7 years ago for $7 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead. If the land were sold today, the company would net $9.8 million. The company wants to build its new manufacturing plant on this land; the plant will cost $14.2 million to build, and the site requires $1,078,000 worth of grading before it is suitable for construction.
