It's got its own garage door and everything so it's a nice little spot that we can rent out. As this gentleman was looking for some space when he was in there. Chris Western showed him this space and it looks like it will work out. It is unheated space as well so there shouldn't be any cost to the city. Councilperson Welper stated it's not very big.
