Hope everyone is safe. Off topic, but the River Road industrial area in the last paragraph caught my eye. River Road and Industrial area? Who's paying for that misuse of property.
Your comment is an uneducated inquiry.
That is the longstanding use of that area, given that it was adjacent to an active railroad track until 1985.
