Toyota moving in next door.
We all know Toyota is moving to Plano which is roughly 20 minutes East of me.
Texas Motor Speedway is 15 minutes South West of me and right below it is Alliance Airport which services a lot of corporate aircraft. This place is 1/8 mile away, literally I could walk straight out my front door and be on the property in a minute. Was just sold and they are clearing some of the 50 acres for what a neighbor has been told is a track. Word on the street is Toyota bought it, $11,000,000. We are thinking corporate retreat.

Thinking more corporate, place for media days etc.... It's horse country. That place was an equestrian estate and Saddlebrook is pretty much right next door. Saddlebrook is where Exxon's CEO Rex Tillerson lives. Rex is the guy who made the news because he signed onto a lawsuit to prevent a water tower being built next door. A water tower that was supposed to supply water for local fracking activities that his own company is involved in. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/02/21/3316881/exxon-ceo-protests-fracking/ The Saddlebrook folk were opposed to the noise that the water trucks would create and what the water tower would do to their property values so I could only imagine how they'd react to a full on test track. These people have the financial means to fight something like that. The center of their community is a huge barn / riding facility.
