The land they're on now has been appraised between 2-3 million, but the cost to move is pretty significant. Depending on who you speak to at Pepsi, it just changes too often for us to be able to plan. The Omnisource site may eventually - after everything - be where it lands, but we've also included West Wayne as part of our request with Norfolk Southern.
It's ALWAYS good to have a plan B and even C on something like this. I'm just surprised Pepsi would drag their feet on this. Coca Cola moved out of the inner city at least 25 years ago, and they were less land locked then Pepsi is. I didn't think the Pepsi facility was much more than offices and a warehouse. I'm surprised moving would be THAT big of a deal. I have confidence that wherever HJ ends up, it will be first class, and I want it to be out where the whole world can see it, but you have to play the hand you are dealt.
