He stated that he would <br /> recommend other alternatives. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that the Capstone project looks great alone but noted that it is nice <br /> to see that there is another project in the business park potentially that will move forward at the <br /> same time which is a great sign of the future success of the business park.
