<br />Unfortunately, the current water & sewer infrastructure lines up with industrial projects that only use minimal
<br />water, such as retail, office, commercial or logistics / distribution and there is a direct correlation to $ /SF
<br />investment. Below is summary table with an equivalent size facility to Morinaga (categorically in the food &
<br />beverage industry) which had a $48 million investment for a 120,000 SF facility (or $400 per SF investment)
<br />and the corresponding investment for industries being targeted by Orange County, NC. The property next to
<br />Morinaga can accommodate three (3) similar size facilities, or another 360,000 SF of Economic
<br />Development "build- out ". As such, we estimated the potential annual tax revenue that could be generated
<br />from the various industry types.
