Chair: buyer interest in fish‑plant RFP; potential USDA restriction complicates sale
Summary
Agency staff said a prospective buyer had expressed interest in the fish‑plant RFP but warned that historic USDA awards attached to the property may require agency follow‑up before any sale proceeds.
During project updates, the Chair asked for an RFP status update on the fish plant; staff said a person who had repeatedly expressed interest may appear to discuss terms but cautioned an outstanding issue: USDA awards from the 1990s may attach to the site and could affect sale or required reimbursements.
The agency discussed options: staff offered to contact USDA for records and to obtain a title report if needed. Chair and members agreed staff should verify whether the USDA requires repayment or permission before any transfer, and to report back during project updates or the next council meeting.
