Resident urges county to reissue Dorn-property RFP, citing 2020 market anomaly
Summary
A resident asked the committee to reissue a request for proposals for the Dorn property, arguing the 2020 RFP response was suppressed by pandemic-era economic conditions and therefore not a reliable market indicator.
During the public-comment period, Dr. Veda Perkins of 1803 Patriot Drive asked the committee to consider reissuing an earlier request for proposals (RFP) for the Dorn property. Perkins told the committee that 2020 was a period of unusual economic disruption and that the lack of responses to the earlier RFP may reflect those conditions rather than the property's development potential.
Perkins said: "I am here to speak about the, the potential reissueance of an RFP for the Dorn property." She described 2020 as a time of "high economic uncertainty" when builders delayed projects and financing tightened, and urged the committee to treat 2020 as an economic anomaly when evaluating past RFP results.
No committee action was taken in response to the comment during the meeting; the item was later discussed on the agenda in other contexts.
