Hunt has been informed by the Target Corporation that they will build a Super Target in Owasso and that the site visit was made last week. Target corporate officials visited the Owasso site and the Eastland site in east Tulsa. This was the official site approval, and Hunt Properties engineers and staff will present Target with a comprehensive development plan over the next 30 -60 days. Preliminary drawings indicate a very fashionable natural stone finish and the overall plans for the development look great. The Planning Commission approved a rezoning and preliminary plat last month. I just completed two days of training with the International Economic Development Council on Small Business Development, Entrepreneurial and Incubator Development for Small Business. The training was held in Dallas, Texas and is required for ED certification. The next training is scheduled for November 2004. I will attend the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) convention in Las Vegas, Nevada next week. I have several meetings already scheduled with several tenants of the Smith Farm Marketplace, and will also be available to assist local developers on site. I continue to work on updating our marketing material. We are currently updating the web page and all the marketing material and I will have the new material to you for your review in the next few weeks. Two groups continue discussions locally in regard to construction of a medical complex for the City of Owasso. One group, Alliance Healthcare, is working with officials of the Larkin Bailey Trust and the other group, the Haskell Enterprise Group, has 67 acres near the Owasso Market under contract for a site for the hospital and medical complex. The addition of a modern medical complex in our city is an essential proponent of our quality of life as our population increases and commercial growth and development continues. Both groups have had recent media exposure and further information will be forwarded to you as soon as it is received. As always, if I can serve you in any way, please call. Your input and direction are always important to the success of our efforts.
