Chairman Carpenter reconvened the meeting at 9:35 p.m. (E-2) NC 73/Poplar Tent Road Plan Update Rodger Lentz, Planning and Zoning Manager, presented an update on the multi-jurisdictional NC 73 and Poplar Tent Road planning process. He reviewed the two summary Powerpoint presentations included in the Agenda package. The first powerpoint addressed the community workshops and the input that was received from the public at those sessions. The second addressed the economic development strategy for the area and included information about various targeted industries or businesses for the corridor. Finally, he reported the consultant will draft proposed standards to be presented in July or August for public comment. (E-3) Update on the Justice Center and Temporary Jail Kelly Sifford, Community Development Manager, presented an update on the Justice Center and Jail project. She highlighted the following: (1) Meeting with some Historic Concord residents who provided design preference guidance that will be used in developing the schematic drawings; (2) Committee that has been reviewing the construction management at risk proposals will be interviewing three companies on July 13; and (3) County is proceeding with the acquisition of property. Chairman Carpenter questioned the demolition of the old Tribune Building. John Day, County Manager, advised the discussion came up during one of the meetings with stakeholders in the downtown area. He stated the President of the Residents of Historic Concord was very concerned about the building, particularly its fa9ade, and had mentioned that the building might be a good location for the Concord Museum. If only the demolition of the back portion of the old Tribune Building is required, Mr. Day said he had proposed the possibility of the Board's leasing the remainder of the building to a non- profit group at $1.00 per year provided the group was willing to raise the money to make the necessary improvements. Ms. Sifford stated the architects do not know yet as to how much of the old Tribune Building will have to come down for the Jail Annex. This will be determined as plans are developed. She did point out that one comment made at the meeting was that they would want a functional building, not just the fa9ade. No action was required by the Board at this time.
