"We are particularly excited about Balapines," said Skip Gosnell, President of In4Structures, "since this is the first property we have done from the very beginning with Celerity. In concert with them and Tele-Optics, we have identified several ways to provide more services at lower cost. It makes a big difference in planning for true digital services at the onset of the project, and this is one of the big values In4Structures brings to the table."
