In recent years, he has acquired, in various forms and partnerships, over 100 industrial and commercial properties with a total size in excess of 100,000,000 square feet-making the portfolio the largest private holding of industrial and commercial real estate in the nation. Mr. Lichter is a national leader in transforming former military bases and industrial sites into thriving retail, residential and business.

Random thought: I wonder if Mr. Lichter will be helping out with those retail locations people were questioning this week.

They are still leaving off a 5th board member listed on EM Website. I suspect they are saving him for later because of what he does. Here is his information copied from EM website:

As a diehard race fan, I view the addition of someone from the Penske organization to be a great asset for Elio. There is no doubt about the success of Penske beyond the race industry

Actually it isn't. What it is, is putting them up front now rather than behind the scenes. They were on EM website all along but you had to be interested enough to read everything on the site to get to the board of directors and a lot of people simply don't think of that or didn't bother. At least that is my oh so very not humble opinion. Personally I read the entire website the first week after my son introduced me to the Elio. Not everyone does that. I also read negative articles as well as positive ones. It was all part of my learning curve. Well, and my insatiable curiosity. LOL :-) Z

I have read it in a few places, and it was pointed out to me by a rep at Daytona Bike week...this is just another case of it being "news" only to those that are just getting into the Elio scene...
NEWS FLASH: Columbus Proves World is Not Flat!
From about the first week on here I have asked that if those amongst us would give a proper reference for their "new" information. Specifically a date the "news" was posted, and a viable source.
