Selling land to manufacturers is better than to developers
Recently, I went to JB thrice within 2 months. Once for vacation, second one for business and third one for a short break plus a speaking engagement invitation from a friend. In brief, I think JB is doing fine and just need to keep the momentum going amidst current negativity. I was in 4 different…
