Director says due diligence materials delivered to Millcreek Momentum; Mason Farms lease converted to month‑to‑month

The Millcreek Authority received an update from its executive director that the authority provided Millcreek Momentum with property maps, surveys and clean environmental site assessments to assist the developer’s due‑diligence review.

The director said he and Attorney Shaw gathered and transmitted the relevant purchase and due‑diligence materials to Millcreek Momentum so the developer could expedite its review. Attorney Shaw told the board she did not anticipate issues arising from the materials the authority provided and that required signatures on prior documents have been obtained and circulated.

The executive director also reported that Mason Farms has expressed a desire to continue leasing the remaining asphalt for access and overflow parking. The existing lease has been converted to a month‑to‑month arrangement with a 30‑day termination clause by either party; the director said the authority does not currently expect issues with Mason Farms’ continued use through 2026 but will continue communications with both Mason Farms and Millcreek Momentum.

Board members reflected on the project’s history, describing previously blighted properties that were demolished and calling the Millcreek Momentum initiative a substantial private investment that could benefit the region. The director and other members credited local staff and consultants for years of preparatory work and emphasized that community and business stakeholders along the corridor supported the project.

A public commenter, Dennis, told the board he had mixed feelings about costs but congratulated the authority and expressed hope construction would begin soon. The meeting concluded with no executive session requested and a unanimous adjournment vote.
