Valley Forge Road Property Lease Rate for Builder's First Source <br /> The Board considered approving the lease rate for property owned by the County at 401 <br /> Valley Forge Road, Hillsborough, and leased to Builders First Source; and received information <br /> regarding compliance with the original economic development conditions established in the <br /> 1997 lease. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she had looked up the tax records for this property, and <br /> wanted to ask a few questions about the process. She asked if a market survey was done to <br /> determine the value. She understands that the people that are renting the property now were <br /> given a lower rate originally for a reason, but wondered what the rate should be now. Also, <br /> there are seven buildings on the tax records, and the county is only charging rent on the <br /> commercial building. She asked how the figure $2.50 per square foot was decided. <br /> Jeff Thompson said that he would take it back to Purchasing and Central Services <br /> Director Pam Jones to get these questions answered. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that staff did look at comparable properties before beginning <br /> negotiations. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that it is important to have comparable information when the <br /> County rents properties. <br /> Geof Gledhill said that the lease is for the entire property. Commissioner Gordon said <br /> that, according to the tax records, three buildings have been built since 1997. She said that the <br /> county should have a defined process for renting property. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that the County does not charge on the acreage but the square <br /> foot on a leased facility, and she will check on the other process questions. <br />
