[COinNJ]

Thanks, guys, for your input. Ideally, we'd love something in central NJ (Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth counties), but we realize those are some of the more expensive areas. We'll consider anything that is in NJ (Morris, Burlington, Ocean, and beyond), but the board members are all in central NJ, and they want to be able to get to the property easily enough that its management and operations could be overseen/checked on by them. We also know south NJ is cheaper and has more open space.

Regarding preserved farmland, I looked at the other thread on that and I guess I assumed it is all open space farms. And it may be, but we would need pretty much a turn-key operation. Purchasing property and doing a lot of capital improvements is more than we could take on. We would have to raise funds to purchase the property, of course, but I need to make some in-roads and get the word out now because the number of Thoroughbreds needing our type of service will be skyrocketing soon.
