<br />The Board next considered a request for a grant to the Chatham County Economic
<br />Development Partnership in the amount of $120,000 for the Marketing of the Moncure
<br />Megasite/Manufacturing Region. County Manager John Crumpton stated that the funds granted
<br />will be used to hire marketing consultants who specialize in the development of major
<br />manufacturing sites. Advertising of the site will occur around the world. The Chatham EDC will be
<br />responsible for working with the developers to put a plan in place that will attract a major
<br />manufacturer to the area. While the total cost of the County's portion of the project is $120,000.00,
<br />the plan would be to pay $60,000.00 in March this year and $60,000.00 in July of next year. A
<br />public hearing was held on this matter at the last Board of Commissioners Meeting on February 6,
<br />2017. Commissioner Oldham moved to approve the proposal of the $120,000.00 for the marketing
<br />of the Moncure Megasite Manufacturing Region. Commissioner Reives moved to amend the
<br />motion to state $60,000.00 in the current fiscal year and $60,000.00 in next fiscal year, a copy of
<br />the Memorandum of Understanding reflecting this agreement has been attached to these minutes
<br />and by this reference made a part hereof. Upon a vote, the results were as follows:
<br />Aye: Dodson, Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan
<br />Nay: Knecht
<br />Absent: Dalrymple
<br />The Vice Chair ruled the motion had been adopted on a vote of 5 to 1.
<br />The next item of business is a request to designate certain foreclosure properties owned by
<br />the County as surplus property. County Attorney Whitney Parrish stated that the County owns two
<br />properties in the Osgood area as a result of foreclosure sales. A citizen has contacted the County
<br />wanting to place an offer on the two properties in the Osgood area. The property needs to be
<br />deemed surplus so the County can sell the property through the upset bid process. The County
<br />also owns six parcels in the Carolina Trace neighborhood as a result of foreclosure sales. These
<br />properties need to be deemed surplus so the County can advertise them for sale. Commissioner
<br />Reives moved to designate the properties as surplus property. Upon a vote, the results were as
<br />follows:
<br />Aye: Dodson, Knecht Oldham, Reives, Sharpe, Sloan
<br />Nay: None
<br />Absent: Dalrymple
<br />The Vice Chair ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
<br />The next item of business was a presentation by Appraisal Manager Lisa Faulkner
