- 26:42you
- 26:42need
- 26:42a
- 26:42property
- 26:43that
- 26:43has
- 26:43the
- 26:44accurate,
- 26:44the
- 26:44appropriate
- 26:45zoning
- 26:46in
- 26:46order
- 26:46to
- 26:46operate
- 26:47this
- 26:47business
- 26:48legally.
- 26:48And
- 26:48that's
- 26:49sometimes
- 26:49can
- 26:49be
- 26:49a
- 26:49big
- 26:50challenge.
- 26:50And,
- 26:50Brandon,
- 26:50I
- 26:50think
- 26:51earlier
- 26:51when
- 26:51you
- 26:52were
- 26:52saying
- 26:52something
- 26:52about,
- 26:53a
- 26:53lot
- 26:53of
- 26:53people
- 26:53come
- 26:54in,
- 26:54maybe
- 26:54with
- 26:54the
- 26:54intention
- 26:55of
- 26:55starting
- 26:55this.
- 26:57That
- 26:58kind
- 26:58of
- 26:58fizzles
- 26:58over
- 26:59time,
- 26:59and
- 26:59maybe
- 26:59that
- 27:00doesn't
- 27:00happen
- 27:00for
- 27:00them.
- 27:01I
- 27:01think
- 27:01this
- 27:01is
- 27:02frankly,
- 27:02a
- 27:02big
- 27:03part
- 27:03of
- 27:03that
- 27:04hurdle
- 27:04is
- 27:05often
- 27:06the
- 27:07getting
- 27:07the
- 27:07zoning
- 27:08and
- 27:08that
- 27:09stuff
- 27:09in
- 27:09place.
- 27:09I
- 27:09think
- 27:10it's
- 27:10an
- 27:10important
- 27:11from
- 27:11an
- 27:11industry
- 27:11standpoint
- 27:12and
- 27:12maybe
- 27:12it's
- 27:12an
- 27:13association
- 27:13tasks
- 27:14that
- 27:14we
- 27:14should
- 27:14be
- 27:15doing
- 27:15better
- 27:15at,
- 27:16but
- 27:16we
- 27:16really
- 27:16need
- 27:17to
- 27:17be
- 27:17communicating
- 27:18with
- 27:18municipalities
- 27:19and
- 27:19counties
- 27:20across
- 27:20the
- 27:20continent
- 27:21about
- 27:22this
- 27:23business
- 27:23and
- 27:24being
- 27:24intentional
- 27:25with
- 27:25them
- 27:25as
- 27:25well
- 27:26about
- 27:27the
- 27:27type
- 27:27of
- 27:27economic
- 27:28diversity
- 27:28and
- 27:29impact
- 27:29we
- 27:29can
- 27:29have.
- 27:30So
- 27:30that
- 27:30those
- 27:31zoning
- 27:31changes
- 27:33are
- 27:33not
- 27:33such
- 27:34a
- 27:34mountainous
- 27:35battle

- 28:01right?
- 28:01Like

- 28:11same
- 28:12time.
- 28:12And
- 28:12so
- 28:12I
- 28:12think.
- 28:13Ideally
