Gettysburg: testing a project

In Gettysburg, demand comes first: who lives in Adams County, PA, who commutes in, set against the wider Gettysburg area, and what gap the 6 full-service restaurant loans leave. On cost: $90,000 is the Gettysburg median and $40,000 to $327,500 the middle half, so a Adams County, PA site must price itself against this $90,000 midpoint.

The Adams County, PA appraisal must back the worth the loan uses. Gettysburg follows the July 2023 boundaries; a case whose home county is not matched falls out of each area, Gettysburg among them, though the totals retain loans beyond the classes we track.
