<br />Mr. McDaniels responded to questions from the Board, with the following
<br />topics being addressed: the baseline for grants; potential tenants for the
<br />redevelopment; etc.
<br />In response to a question from Chairman White, John Day, County
<br />Manager, stated the name for the grant request is different from the request
<br />being presented to the City of Concord because of the familiarity of the name
<br />"The Old Creamery".. He explained that it has been a long time since the
<br />County has been involved in a retail project. He stated this type of retail
<br />project will probably be a growing trend as the City of Concord and the
<br />County strives to steer development inward. He also defined a redevelopment
<br />project as a structure in disrepair that is redeveloped into another use
<br />instead of being renovated for the same type of use.
<br />Mr. McDaniels stated the EDC has been working with the previous and new
<br />ownership group for this property for some time and there has been a lot of
<br />interest in investment in the facility.
