Question

Lord Walder Frey Wedding Planner and Event Organizer, Inc., is looking at setting up a new mega conference facility in The Twins City. The company bought some land six years ago for $4.1 million in anticipation of using it as a warehouse and distribution site, but the company has since decided to rent these facilities from a competitor instead.
