Commissioner Dalrymple stated that one concern she had heard was <br />why the County was loaning money to an organization that is going out of business. Donnie Oldham, <br />Chairman of the EDC Board stated the current 501 -3C status will stay in place once the two <br />organizations are merged and that repayment terms will be worked out. County Attorney Neil <br />Yarborough stated a Promissory Note had been prepared but didn't quite meet all the needs at this <br />time.
