In November 2014 Ron Swanson resigned from the Parks Department, and he went on to start his own business called, "Very Good Building & Development Co." Then in January 2015 Ron Swanson announced that he was putting up an apartment building called, "Morning Star," right where Leslie Knope's project, " Pawnee Commons" was supposed to be. Ron had to tear down houses, including Ann Perkins' old home for Morning Star. This made Leslie furious, and from then on they called it the Morning Star incident. This incident created tension between Ron and Leslie for many years.
