The only other financial information I can cite is the amount of money that the bonds were for to create a new municipal cemetery, which would have been $1.57 million for the book for each. Each of the Girdwood and then the Eagle. Eagle river cemeteries. Not to say that that's how much it's going to cost to set up this because it's a very different model, but just as a comparison that we are going to be creating a new cemetery for residents of the municipality of the municipality that instead of something that would have cost $4.1 million, I guess. But we're also supportive of those.
