COMMISSION CONCERNS
Lee
No concerns.
Floyd
Commented that it is nice to see the First Street project moving
along; and, asked if there is any timeframe for completion and
tenants moving in.
Director
Indicated that multiple tenants are in for tenant improvements.
Floyd
Asked if there is a tenant list.
Director
Answered that a partial list can be provided to the Commissioners.
Pontious
Asked what is happening with the Utt Juice property.
Director
Responded that the first plan check for the residential is completed;
there were minor corrections; the commercial aspect will be
submitted sometime this week.
Pontious
Stated her understanding that the commercial was to begin first.
Director
Indicated that the commercial began as 100 percent steel
construction; that was modified to partially wood and steel and
required starting over for the plans on that portion. The building will
look the same, only the walls will be different.
Pontious
Suggested that construction might begin within three months.
Director
Agreed with that suggestion; and, indicated a ground-breaking will
be taking place before too long.
