The time has come

"The chickens are coming home to roost" is a proverb meaning that a person's past mistakes, bad decisions, or wrongdoings have finally caught up with them, resulting in negative consequences. It signifies that actions, particularly negative ones, will eventually return to cause problems for the person who initiated them, similar to karma. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Key Aspects of the Idiom: 

• Meaning: It refers to the inevitable return of negative consequences from previous actions. 
• Origin: The phrase stems from the idea that chickens, like "curses," return to their home roost at night. It was popularized in 1810 by Robert Southey and has roots in older, similar expressions. 
• Usage: It is often used to describe situations where a lack of responsibility or a bad decision leads to unavoidable trouble in the present. 
• Context: While it generally implies receiving punishment for poor behavior, it can also simply mean that consequences have caught up with someone. [2, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

Example: "After neglecting to pay his taxes for years, the IRS audit meant his chickens had finally come home to roost." [3, 6]

Gundry

Dr. Steven Gundry typically recommends consuming a high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), often suggesting up to a liter per week for maximum health benefits, which breaks down to nearly 10 tablespoons a day. However, for most people, 1 to 2 tablespoons daily, or 3–4 tablespoons as suggested by Mediterranean diet studies, is considered sufficient to get the benefits. [1, 2, 3, 4]  
Key Recommendations & Tips: 

• Start Slow: If new to drinking it, start with 1 teaspoon daily and increase to 1–2 tablespoons over time to avoid digestive discomfort. 
• Quality Matters: Use high-quality, cold-pressed, single-origin, extra virgin olive oil. 
• How to Take It: You can drink 1 tablespoon straight in the morning (sometimes mixed with lemon juice) or liberally pour it over vegetables, salads, and other foods. 
• Goal: The goal is to incorporate it into your diet to improve metabolism, heart health, and reduce inflammation. [2, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

If you are using Dr. Gundry's specific, highly concentrated, high-polyphenol olive oil, he suggests that a smaller amount (like a "shot" a day or using his Olive Oil Pearls) can provide the equivalent benefits of a higher volume of standard olive oil, which aligns with the goal of high polyphenol intake. [3, 6]  
Disclaimer: This information is based on public statements by Dr. Gundry and common interpretations of his advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes.

Oil

https://share.google/aimode/oTgIJRXtmgjC5kqIb

Dr. Steven Gundry strongly advocates consuming high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) daily—up to a liter per week—as a key part of his dietary recommendations to improve heart health, increase energy, and manage weight. While often taken with meals, a nighttime shot of olive oil can help reduce hunger and promote better, uninterrupted sleep. [1, 2, 3]  
Key details regarding Dr. Gundry's advice on olive oil include: 

• High Polyphenol Content: He emphasizes using olive oil with high polyphenol levels (like his Gundry MD brand (https://gundrymd.com/p/polyphenol-rich-olive-oil/)), which are packed with hydroxytyrosol for heart health. 
• Weight Management & Health: Drinking olive oil, particularly before bed, is part of a regimen meant to support a healthy, lean physique, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. 
• Optimal Usage: He advises incorporating 1 or more tablespoons daily into your diet, suggesting that many people can consume up to a liter a week. 
• What to Look For: He suggests using dark bottles, checking for harvest dates, and looking for a bitter, robust taste, which indicates high polyphenol content. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]  

While some trends promote a specific "shot" before bed, Dr. Gundry's main, consistent message is to increase overall daily intake of high-quality EVOO, rather than limiting it to a single, strict bedtime ritual. [3, 8]

Chamber members feathering nests

The article from the **National Association of Counties (NACo)**, titled "Moving incentives draw remote workers," highlights how counties are adapting relocation incentive programs to attract remote/teleworking professionals, especially following shifts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The main focus is on **Shawnee County, Kansas** (home to Topeka), which modified its existing **Choose Topeka** incentive program. Originally launched in 2019 by **Go Topeka** (an economic development agency under the Joint Economic Development Organization, or JEDO, funded partly by a county sales tax), the program aimed to help local employers recruit and retain talent. It addressed the issue that about **40%** of Topeka workers earning over $40,000 lived outside Shawnee County.

Post-pandemic adaptations targeted remote workers employed by out-of-area companies:
- Incentives include up to **$10,000** for home purchases or **$5,000** for renting (adjusted from the original employer-shared model of up to $16,000 for purchases/$10,000 for rentals).
- The program remains performance-based, with requirements like proof of full-time remote employment, authorization from the employer, residency validation, an application, and an interview with a JEDO review committee.

The original setup involved shared costs (50/50 between Go Topeka/JEDO and employers), with potential reimbursement for employers if employees stayed beyond one year.

Key context includes national trends: Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics' October jobs report (around the article's timeframe), **21%** (1 in 5) of employed Americans were teleworking due to the pandemic, enabling greater relocation flexibility.

Outcomes for Shawnee County:
- The original program saw strong initial interest (over **4,000** inquiries/resumes at launch).
- After pandemic adaptations (around September onward), it received **40 applications**, with **5** remote workers completing the interview process as an early group.

Benefits emphasized include attracting higher-wage jobs to fill local gaps, boosting the overall economy, and appealing to remote workers with Midwest advantages like lower cost of living and lower COVID-19 infection rates at the time.

Quotes from officials:
- Barbara Stapleton (Go Topeka's VP of Talent Attraction) noted the pandemic's shift in work patterns and the goal of encouraging employees to live in the communities where they contribute.
- Shawnee County Commissioner Kevin Cook (JEDO chair) highlighted the adaptation's success in attracting remote talent to support economic growth and fill otherwise hard-to-fill positions.

Overall, the piece portrays this as a proactive strategy for rural/mid-sized counties to leverage remote work trends for economic development through targeted incentives and public-private partnerships.

(Note: The article appears to date from late 2020, with some NACo site references showing November 19/23, 2020 timestamps, though the content reflects pandemic-era adaptations.)

Henry - thanks again for your time today on the phone! I am excited to get going on our partnership. You should see the DocuSign Agreement come thru shortly after this, if you have any questions or want to discuss it further let me know. Below are one-pagers on each of the incentives I mentioned on the call today Cost Segregation, 179D, and 45L. Don't forget to send me your logo so I can get my marketing team working on the co-branded version of this one pager too.

 

  • 179D - a per sqft tax deduction on the building, claimed by looking at the Lighting, HVAC, and Building Envelope
  • 45L - a per unit tax credit, claimed by looking at the Lighting, HVAC, and Building Envelope
  • Cost Segregation - a tax optimization strategy helping owners deduct 15-30% of their building

 

Did you ever get a hold of Rick? After our call I spoke to our experts, and they said fitness centers are ideal for both 179D and Cost Segregation. The easiest way to identify the value of what Rick might have tied up in his properties is to set-up 15 minutes with our experts, to let them explain the best path of viability if there is one. If there isn't a path for viability, we will let them know, and this gives them the chance to educate on what would better qualify as well.

 

Can you send me more information how we can get going with blog posts and other social media content? Really looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead!

 

All the best,
Patrick

Today?

**Central Crossing Commerce Park** is a major **mixed-use industrial and commerce park** in south Topeka, Kansas (Shawnee County), developed as part of economic growth efforts by **GO Topeka** (the economic development organization tied to the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce).

### History and Development
- Established in **2002**, directly aligning with the solicitation memo you shared from January 2002. That request for 150+ acre submissions (via the Wadley Donovan Group recommendation) led to identifying and developing this site to address the shortage of large, shovel-ready industrial land.
- The park spans approximately **500-507 acres** (sources vary slightly on exact figures over time).
- Land was acquired for around **$4.1 million** in 2002.
- It was created to attract new companies, support expansions, and generate jobs by offering sites for manufacturing, distribution, industrial, mission-critical tech, and office uses.
- Some challenges noted early on: Portions of the land have limitations like wetlands (~75 acres), drainage ditches, sloping terrain, making not all acreage immediately developable.

### Location and Access
- Situated in far south Topeka, near **SW 49th Street & I-335/Hwy 75**.
- Excellent connectivity: Close to **Interstate 335**, **Highway 75**, **BNSF Railway line**, and proximity to **I-70**.
- Part of the broader "Topeka Triangle" or **Kanza Economic Growth Complex** in south Topeka, alongside nearby sites like **Kanza Fire Commerce Park** and **Forbes Field** for industrial growth.

### Key Tenants and Features
- Home to major distribution and manufacturing operations, including:
  - **Target** (distribution center, one of the early anchors; site incentives included land and tax exemptions).
  - **Frito-Lay**.
  - **The Home Depot** (Rapid Deployment Center).
  - Others like **Allen Foods** (historical mentions).
- Shovel-ready sites still available (as of recent GO Topeka info), with all utilities and extensive fiber optic access.
- Ideal for large-scale manufacturing, distribution, and related uses.
- The park is described as **nearly full** in some mid-2020s reports, shifting focus to adjacent developments like Kanza Fire Commerce Park.

### Current Status (as of 2026)
- Managed/promoted by **GO Topeka**.
- Continues to support expansions, e.g., nearby companies like **J.M. Smucker Co.** (with recent investments in Topeka facilities).
- It's a flagship project from the early 2000s economic development push, contributing significantly to job creation and industrial attraction in the region.

For the most up-to-date availability, site specifics, or incentives, check the official **GO Topeka** page: https://www.gotopeka.com/central-crossing-commerce-park (includes flyers with maps and details). If you're in Topeka and considering property or business there, contacting them directly (via gotopeka.com) would provide current parcel info. This park is a direct outcome of the 2002 land submission effort!

The original deal

The document is a **memo** dated **January 8, 2002** (with a submission deadline referenced as February 8, 2002) from **Kathy Moellenberndt** (likely Vice President/Director of Economic Development at GO Topeka).

**GO Topeka** (the economic development arm associated with the **Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce**) and the Chamber were soliciting submissions of available land parcels in **Topeka** and/or **Shawnee County**, Kansas. The goal was to identify suitable sites for developing a large **mixed-use industrial/business park** to:

- Attract new companies to the region.
- Provide expansion space for existing businesses.
- Create jobs.

This initiative stemmed from a determination by the **Wadley Donovan Group (WDG)** — a New Jersey-based target market and site evaluation consulting firm — that there was a lack of available large-acreage land in existing developments. They recommended this open call for submissions as the most efficient and fair way to evaluate and select the most cost-effective and attractive sites for potential users.

**Key requirements** for any submitted property (sites not meeting these would not be considered):

- Must be located in **Topeka or Shawnee County**.
- Submit a property description and map showing boundaries.
- Submitted by the owner (with proof of ownership) or a licensed real estate broker (with a copy of the exclusive listing).
- Minimum of **150 contiguous acres**.
- No encumbrances that would prevent development into a mixed-use business park.
- Must comply with all applicable regulatory, governmental laws, and restrictions.

Submissions were to be delivered (hand-delivered, certified/registered mail, etc.) to Kathy Moellenberndt at GO Topeka's office (120 SE 6th Street, Suite 110, Topeka, KS 66603-3515) by **5:00 p.m. CST on February 8, 2002**. Contact info included phone (785-234-2644) and fax (785-234-8656).

The memo emphasized:
- No obligation for GO Topeka or its assigns to develop any park.
- Submitted information would be treated confidentially and become the property of GO Topeka.
- Encouragement to share with associates/colleagues about potential sites.

This was part of broader economic development efforts in Topeka around that time, including site selection consulting and plans to boost industrial/commercial growth (e.g., related activities led to developments like Central Crossing Commerce Park established in 2002). GO Topeka continues today as the primary economic development organization for the area, focusing on business attraction, growth, and incentives.

Hi Henry—I do see that we recently started a 'Readiness to Serve' account at this address for Mr. Fox.  This is a new charge for addresses where we have a water meter in the ground as well as connections to the City water mains and sewer system. 

 

When you say that the demo has started, can I ask if the plan is to demo the home completely and if there is a plan to build another home afterward?  The reason I'm asking is just that we'd just want to make sure that the property owner is aware of the costs involved in obtaining a new meter and new service connections if we remove the current meter. 

 

Please let me know and we can go from there.  Thank you!

I've been informed that the property's tenant is in hospital and will not be returning home.

 

He is month to month and the water payment was never part of the deal. 

 

As the broker/developer, the plan is to revolve the house. 

 

I recommended stopping and removing the service permanently as the demo started.
