No one else seems excited about that, but you all should be the original Hall of Fame.

Google it.
1:41:24
And the ten year it's worth googling.
1:41:27
It's worth searching, by the way.
1:41:30
The ten year preliminary capital commitment plan includes roughly $441,200,000 for the Science Park And Research Campus.

But right now, that's the that's the projected time frame.
