EDA authorizes representative to negotiate staging lease for Norris bridge project; revenue ideas discussed
Summary
The EDA authorized Anton Webre to negotiate with contractors to lease a 10-acre EDA parcel for staging the Norris bridge replacement project and discussed seeking a portion of business tax revenue as a new EDA funding source.
Board member Anton Webre outlined options March 9 for generating new EDA revenue and supporting the 2027 Norris bridge replacement. Webre proposed leasing five–ten acres of EDA land to a contractor for staging construction activities for an approximately three-year project and suggested exploring a small percentage of business tax receipts tied to promotion the EDA provides.
On a motion by Chairman John Anzivino, seconded by Joe Heyman, the board authorized Anton Webre as the EDA representative to negotiate with prospective contractors and subcontractors to stage construction activities on a 10-acre parcel the EDA owns; the motion passed unanimously. No lease terms were set at the meeting; Webre is authorized to negotiate and return with proposed agreements for board review.
