Last summer, Mr. Glick wanted to consider bringing his business, a <br />recycling gathering facility to the City of Paris. Mr. Glick took the steps and found this <br />property that he felt like was in a good location for his business. Mr. Glick then started by <br />contacting the City of Paris to determine whether or not it would be an appropriate location <br />to place his business in Paris, Texas. Mr. Glick sent the City a very detailed proposal of <br />what the business would entail and the look of the facility. Mr. Glick then received a letter <br />back from the City informing him that, in fact, the business was within the zoning for that <br />location and that it would be an appropriate site for his business. Relying upon that, Mr. <br />Glick went on and bought the property for the purpose of putting in his business. Over the <br />next six months, he spent a great deal of time, energy and money developing that location <br />through site plans, and work with contractors. He even hired an employee to manage the <br />site, and basically incurred a great deal of business expense preparing to put this business <br />
