A. Myers has committed the time and resources to establish a strong
presence in the Delaware market, and early results reinforce the
initiative. Two large AAM site development projects are currently
in progress there, one in Christiana for a national home builder
and another in Magnolia for a large regional builder. At approximately
120 acres each, Red Lion Hunt (Christiana) and Chestnut Ridge (Magnolia)
are similar in scope, but differences abound. While terrain and soil
conditions in Christiana are very similar to those in southeast Pennsylvania,
they are quite different in 'lower' Delaware, where
the combination of a flat landscape and bad weather presents different
challenges altogether. But with GPS technology in the equipment,
excavation in wet and muddy conditions like those at Chestnut Ridge
becomes a science, and work can progress with little compromise to
schedule. Also, this area of the state is served by a new company-owned
asphalt facility in nearby Cheswold, Delaware, greatly expediting
the paving phase of the work. Chestnut Ridge is on schedule to deliver
in the fall of 2006; Red Lion Hunt is due for delivery shortly. |

conditions are quite different in southern Delaware, where a little
rain can create big challenges. GPS technology helps maintain schedule. |
