8. Conclusion
A variety of sights were evaluated and compared to our final
sight. Our final sight is the best choice since it has a minimal
impact to conservation land, homes, and schools. Since the impact
to schools and homes is minimal, costs for settlements if required
will be very low thus allowing for most revenue to be applied
toward materials, labor, and fees.
It has been a pleasure to work with your community and I know
that our project will bring jobs to your area not to mention the
long-term job security that our company will provide. As you know,
once this project is complete, we will be filling vacancies to assist in
running long-term operations. Again, thank you for your attention
and our company looks forward to a long-term commitment with
your community.
