A Tractor Is Needed

I talked with Gilberto today and he said he needed to buy a tractor to continue grading the land around the University. The University is located in the western/center of nearly 250 acres that Gilberto owns and is developing. The University is comprised of about 12 acres of currently heavily overgrown jungle. There is a large quarry at the eastern front and entrance of the property that is located about 1.5 miles from the main highway running south of the Cancun airport (the Cancun airport is just 12 miles north of the entrance to the Univerisity). This quarry is being excavated by a private company that Gilberto had contracted with to excavate what is known locally as "caliche", a lime based road building material. The excavation of this building material is what if funding the construction of the University buildings.

This 250 acre project is guarded by a gated security building currently under constuction. The primary road from the entrance of the properto to just about the western end the property is nearing completion as the tractor clears the road through the jungle. Gilberto stated today that the barbed wire fence around the 12 acres designated for the University is close to being half done.

Gilberto is sending Scott the specifications for the tractor he needs to complete the grading and other earth moving needs for the entire project.
