Hall Jr.Kansas BESS, Business Entity ID 4634887, LAURENCE A HALL - 1325 GOLD ROAD, GLASCO, KS 67445; license moved to Kansas from Florida in 2012 (described as "a burly Willy Wonka") purchased the Raven Ridge 11 Atlas missile silo at Raven Ridge near Concordia, Kansas () in 2008 for $300,000. It is in depth, which he built into a 15-floor bunker complete with tilapia aquaponic facility, vegetable gardens, mini grocery store, swimming pool, theater, library, gym, sauna and steam room, jail cell, climbing wall, bar, three years of stockpiled food, and 12 condo units for up to 75 people. The development was completed by 2012 at a cost of $20 million.
The facility also contains a shooting range, three armories, decontamination room, volcanic ash remover, reverse osmosis water filtration, and a remote-controlled .223 rifle (with a fully automated mode) in a sniper post atop the facility to defend the bunker. It also has at least two armored vehicles including a Pit-Bull VX tactical truck, typically used as a SWAT vehicle. It also has small apartments for an undisclosed number of employees, such as maintenance and medical staff.
The vice president of business development is Bill Craig.

Peter Ziegler In 2013, Peter Ziegler, (son of William Ziegler III, grandson of William Ziegler Jr.) purchased Unit 5 and also loaned $3 million to LAH Cubed with a promissory note, due one year later. Ziegler died in 2017. The estate formally demanded the funds, which were in default by late 2018. Shortly after, Hall's LAH Cubed transferred assets to other LLCs in his name. The estate filed in January 2019 to pierce the corporate veil as Hall/LAH Cubed had transferred assets to other LLCs. In a May 2019 response, LAH Cubed stated that there was confusion, that Ziegler owed LAH for $5 million in improvements, so the $3 million was partial payment towards that, which satisfied the note, but he died before actually voiding it. LAH also denied any connection between Ziegler and the asset transfers. The parties settled out of court in August 2019.
