Ms. Joy Thrash, Interim CEO of the Sanford Area Growth <br />Alliance (SAGA) asked the Board to participate in an economic development project which consists of <br />participation in the costs of new machinery and equipment for "Project Gizmo". A total of seventy-six <br />(76) new jobs would be added over the two-year period. If approved, the Board would share up to <br />$185,563.00 for the cost of the project with revenues from the Lee County General Fund. <br />Chair Dalrymple opened the public hearing that had been advertised for this date and time. <br />The following spoke in favor of the economic development project: <br />1.
