Redevelopment

In 2012, it was announced that Kittyhawk Airport would be redeveloped into a single family home community with homes built by Pulte Homes and Grand Homes. The 66-acre tract of land was purchased by JBLG Capital LP of Dallas after 7 of the 10 property owners agreed to sell. In addition, 3.5-acres of land was purchased from Allen Independent School District. The name of the community would be known as the "Landings at Kittyhawk" or simply "The Landings".[2]

gollark: Apparently, though, most consumers do not actually care, and thus the magic of capitalism™ has produced slightly shinier and harder to repair phones.
gollark: I would really prefer phones using technology such as "screws" and "detachable connectors" and "swappable parts".
gollark: no.
gollark: I don't go diving or swimming or whatever with my phone, so I'd value removable batteries over waterproofing.
gollark: Meh, close enough.
