I don't have any specific examples. I do know we have a brand new senior center. We have transportation vans. But there is only a few caregiver companion companies. And only 2 care Facilities. I've had a few clients that have had a hard time getting into One when they needed to.

Besides chain restraunts and Tesla, there's not many employment opportunities. There's no mall or real hangout spots for kids just some small parks. And no real events for adults either besides bars.
