While everything that can be platted south of the bridge as this point essentially has been, there are still a lot of empty lots and empty fields out there with development orders and it could be they're trying to take advantage of lower construction costs right now and building capacity ahead of future hard development.

Could also be it's a good idea to have a more storm-hardened or redundant station south of the bridge to help minimize disruptions the next time we get a bad hurricane.

I think it's the former. Since we already have the coming soon picture here in Seagrove next to the old Beach Rentals building.
