If that's all Moroun is waiting on, you'd think he'd be making some effort to market the place to prospective tenants, or at least to seal it from the elements and keep it from decaying further in order to minimize renovation costs down the road. The man isn't stupid--he must know that leaving the station to rot in hopes that "two to three anchor tenants" will see the potential and come knock on his door is not an effective development strategy. As you say, financing is not an issue for him. So what are we to conclude about Moroun's motivations? To me, he's sending a very clear signal that he is not serious about fixing up the building.
