I'm curious.

What did Fowler show prospective clients before this summer?

"We show them the new public schools that are a testament to the value this community places on education. We drive them to the downtown area where they see the construction and renovations taking place. We're proud to show off the new brick sidewalks and the downtown revitalization. We discuss the plans for a growing university..."

I can see now why it took 10 years to land a deal. Folks were waiting on the high schools to deconsolidate and the sidewalks to go in downtown.

After reading this, all I could think of was the song rose colored glasses by John Conlee,
