He reviewed <br />the first priority items with the Board. <br />Acting Chairperson Skaff asked about the property that they own, stating they were holding off <br />on marketing it until the Armstrong Boulevard interchange was open, when and how do they put <br />that on the market and who will do that. <br />Economic Dev.

He noted the developer is looking for other <br />models to use. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama reviewed the second priority items with <br />the Board. <br />Member Hardin asked in regard to securing the 32,000 sq. foot retail, and wondered what they <br />have that is shovel ready. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated technically nothing is shovel <br />ready but they have plenty to meet the goal; however, nothing is officially certified by the State <br />at this time. There is a variety of different types of uses. <br />Member Hardin asked if one of their goals should be to identify those sites and see that they are <br />officially certified. <br />Economic Dev. Mgr/Assistant City Administrator Brama stated the second to the last goal in the <br />plan is directing this and they would like to have it done by summer 2016. <br />Economic Development Authority/December 3, 2015 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
