Steeley Associates versus Concord Falls Steeley Associates, Inc., a property development firm, purchased an old house near the town square in Concord Falls, where State University is located. The old house was built in the mid-1800s, and Steeley Associates restored it. For almost a decade, Steeley has leased it to the university for academic office space. The house is located on a wide lawn and has become a town landmark. However, in 2008, the lease with the university expired, and Steeley Associates decided to build high-density student apartments on the site, using all the open space. The community was outraged and objected to the town council.

For these shoppers, Wish You Wood is more than a store; it is a destination they associate with family and fun.

Due to various promotions throughout the year, it is common for members to pay different amounts for the same length of membership.

The system must keep track of these new prices so that renewals can be processed accurately. One of the problems in the health club industry is the high turnover rate of members. Although some members remain active for many years, about half of the…
