While it would be ideal to transform the Old Bethel School Property immediately, given the extent of the damage to the buildings and the physical plant area, and in order to preserve the aesthetics of the school, we feel our phased approach will work best for all and look forward to working with the local community to leverage local workforce and contractors. Following is a quick plan of activities if our bid is accepted: • Secure the area (first year) • Removal of trash and discarded (non- asbestos waste) carefully (first year) • Sealing off buildings with suitable security measures (first year) • Repair the toilet facilities (first year) • Landscape and tidy the frontage of the campus (first year) • Repair the pathways and roads as they come into use (2 -3 years) • Remove or repair asbestos areas (2 -5 years) • Rewire electrical conduits as they come into use (2 -5 years) • Repair all damaged roofs and walls (2 -5 years) We see great potential in the Old Bethel School Property and in concert with the local community, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners, and County and State (and possibly Federal) regulatory bodies, we'd like to be a part of the renovation and innovative use of the facility. We ask for guidance and possible relief in the following areas: • Sewage Treatment: We would like to use the existing sewage system although we don't anticipate ever approaching the 1999 number of 584 users it once served. • Property Tax: With the current assessment at $1.2M, we would like to have the property tax abated for the first 24 -48 months, as we work to get the property renovated and ready to contribute to the community's tax base.
