Proposal for the Lease/Purchase of the Agri-Business Park Mr. Alvin Stanford, Cooperative Extension Director and speaking on behalf of the Mid-Crescent Agri-Business Park Advisory Committee, reviewed the proposal to obtain approximately 500 acres of Stonewall Training school property through a lease/purchase agreement with the State of North Carolina for the development of the Mid-Crescent Agri-Business Park. He asked the Board of Commissioners to take over as lead agency in securing the property and establishing a lease with the State. In order to proceed with the request, Mr. Witherspoon advised that the Board would need to approve the lease/purchase proposal in concept and instruct the County Attorney to draft a lease/purchase agreement to be submitted to the State for approval. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Simmons, seconded by Commissioner Hamby and unanimously carried, the Board approved in concept the following lease/purchase proposal and agreed to follow the County Manager's plan in moving forward with the lease/purchase arrangement. The Board further authorized the County Manager and County Attorney to have the appraisals and survey completed, if required at this time, and to use their judgement on the cost of this work. LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA AND THE COUNTY OF CABARRUS Length of Lease Purchase Agreement - 10 years with one renewal. Cost of Lease Purchase $1.00 per year. Property Involved State Qwned land at Stonewall Jackson Training School consisting of approximately 500 acres (exact amount to be determined by survey). Purpose To establish an agricultural park according to the guidelines in the report "Findings and Recommendations of Governor Martin's Advisory Committee on Agricultural Parks, January 1988." This park would be an economic hub for agri- business consisting of a collection of firms located in facilities near each other and devoted primarily to agricultural and agri-business activities. Park business activities could include standard services such as the processing and marketing of fruits, vegetables, poultry, livestock and the storage of stable state commodities. It could also include farm equipment and input dealerships and the precooling of perishable foods. The common element among park tenants would be their participation as a link in the producer-to-consumer chain. This concept would be sufficiently broad to include activities beyond the traditional food processing notions. While processors may be one type of tenant in the park, other important services and features should be included such as packing, storage, trucking and brokerage. Cost of Land Purchase Market price (to be determined by market appraisal). Appraisal to be done by two State approved MAI appraisers. Average of the two to establish price. County will pay for appraisal within the first year of the lease/purchase. Method of Operations Cabarrus County would own the lease purchase agreement. Some type of board or authority would be established by the County to develop the park for Cabarrus County. Under this lease purchase agreement, Cabarrus County would be able to develop the infrastructure and sell the land to potential business clients and repay the State of North Carolina the appraised market price per acre.
