Commissioners heard that the agreement is intended to support redevelopment-assistance capital program grant requirements and to formalize cooperation between county government and the Economic Progress Alliance during the planning phase. The presenter invited questions and indicated the work would remain conceptual while permitting and planning proceed.

No formal construction schedule or budget details were provided during the presentation.
