South Carolina firm seeks more time to complete due diligence for Commerce Park site
Summary
County staff said 'Pico de Ferris' (organic-protein-related operations) is negotiating to locate in the Commerce Park and requested extensions of its due-diligence period while it completes permitting and state health reviews; staff recommended the extensions.
Staff briefed commissioners that Pico de Ferris, a company expanding from South Carolina, is under contract to buy lots in the Commerce Park and requested an extension of its due-diligence period while county permitting and Department of Health review are completed.
Staff said the company plans to build a facility in the park and is advancing through permitting; because the Department of Health reassigned a reviewer the company’s permitting timeline was delayed and staff recommended approving the requested due-diligence extension to allow the purchaser time to proceed through the revised review process.
No formal vote on a land sale was taken at the briefing; staff said they are working with the company as it completes permitting steps and will return any purchase agreement or closing items to the board when ready.
