Dear Bobby:
On behalf of Barrister Commercial Group, I want to express our thanks for the time you spent
touring the new MRI facility at Bridgeview Center.
We are pleased that Kentuckiana Diagnostics has made a substantial financial commitment in the
City of Jeffersonville and that they chose this to be their first and primary location.
The owners of Kentuckiana Diagnostics purchased an "open-sided" MRI as well as a Cat Scan
for their new business. Due to the excessively high cooling demands of the MRI and CT, a 12-
ton air conditioning unit was specified to maintain the correct temperature throughout the facility.
In fact, the mechanical room that houses the electrical and mechanical equipment required an
entirely separate 3-ton air conditioning unit. The air-conditioning unit that is partially visible as
you cross the 2"d Street Bridge is the larger 12-ton unit.
Bobby, we sincerely appreciate your attention to detail since that will certainly "raise the
standard" throughout the City of Jeffersonville. We look forward to completing the build outs in
the remainder of Bridgeview Center and working with the Department of Redevelopment on
future projects.
Sincerely,
G~~
Kat athews
