Jefferson County board authorizes letter of intent to sell land to Project Universe

Supervisor (name not specified) moved to authorize the county administrator to execute a letter of intent on behalf of Jefferson County with Project Universe for the sale of county-owned land located within the Food and Beverage Innovation Campus. "I move to authorize the county administrator to execute a letter of intent on behalf of Jefferson County with Project Universe for the sale of county owned land. Excuse me. Located within the food and beverage innovation campus," the supervisor said.

Supervisor Jayco seconded the motion. The chair called for a vote; two board members recorded "aye," and the chair said there were no opposing votes. "The resolution passes," the chair declared. The meeting record does not specify a purchase price, parcel acreage, conditions in the letter of intent, or a timeline for completing a sale.

The action authorizes the county administrator to sign a nonbinding letter of intent with Project Universe; the transcript does not record further terms, required approvals, or subsequent steps. After the vote the board moved on to announcements, including a county electronics recycling event at the fairgrounds and upcoming county meetings.

No statutory citations, ordinance numbers, contract numbers, acreage, or financial terms were provided in the meeting record.
