The existing zoning will dictate your next move.  You'll want to explore not only the permissible uses, the required setbacks, whether or not there are any easements encumbering the land, etc.  Whatever you decide to build, you want to make sure you don't have to go "ask" for anything in the way of variances, special use permits, conditional use permits, etc.  Preferably, you want to build something that is "permitted by right".  This is your path of least resistance.  Now, whether or not that is profitable is another matter, but first, see what you can build that is "permitted by right".

I am sure I'm not alone when I say ... I don't understand the question. Could you explain it more deeply for the technologically challenged? This doesn't mean I am losing my google phone number, does it?

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate the feedback.

Using Google Maps, Google Earth or any other version or combination of versions of free software out there, how can someone create a professional-looking site map to be used as a marketing exhibit showing a site:

1) with the 1-3-5 miles rings around it, and

2) showing the company logos of nearby, nationally recognized companies by importing said logos into the map and pasting them on top of the locations of those businesses, and

3) inserting text blocks where, for instance, one could depict traffic counts of the frontage road by inserting the text block with the desired text into the map and pasting it on top of the road(s).

Again, I want to do this all quickly, efficiently, professionally and for free.

Can anyone suggest a process or software or make any recommendations? It would be greatly appreciated.
