Tim,
I drive thru Jean to Vegas all the time as I have many friends there.. very interesting story. I've thought for years that it wouldn't be long before Stateline really didn't mean much... You know if they build in Jean other developments won't be far behind.. but I wonder if they have the resources to handle a larger population..
Sounds like there will be some great opportunities to be had in the area. ve been looking for some cheap investments in the Sandy Valley area but much of the land values have jumped the same time the vegas marker took off.
