The reload center will receive packaged agriculture commodities from trucks to be temporarily warehoused, and loaded onto rail cars for distribution in central and eastern United States. The project has been initially planned and has undergone initial preliminary engineering work. The next phase of preliminary engineering work along with permitting and operational agreements is underway. Part of the project involves purchase of land for both the reload center and the surrounding industrial zoned property [total of approximately 213 acres]. The reload center needs approximately 65 acres of this industrial zoned land, to eventually be purchased by Connect Oregon funds. The remaining 148 acres of industrial zoned land surrounding the reload center land also needs to be purchased so the entire industrial zoned land (Farmer Property) is secured for ancilliary businesses and future reload center facility expansion. An additional industrial zoned property, the Nyssa Industries Property, will also be purchased to support industrial development for the area. This property is located just south of the above Farmer property, closer to Nyssa. The properties to be purchased using SPWF funds are further defined as follows. Please see the attached maps for clarity. Farmer Property, total of 213 acres [see attached Exhibit B, red hatching area]. This property is zoned heavy industrial. - Reload Property, total of 65 acres [see attached Figure The 65 acres of reload property is shown on Figure 1 within the red boundary, and this property is WITHIN the Farmer Property noted above, and is zoned heavy industrial. Nyssa Industries Property, total of 79 acres, located south of the Farmer Property [see attached Figures 2 and 3 Tax Lot 200, Map 1984720, Reference 9760]. This property is zoned light industrial. The Connect Oregon funding cannot be used to purchase the additional 148 acres of land surrounding the reload center nor can it be used for the Nyssa Industries Property, which is approximately 79 acres. The Connect Oregon funds can only be used to purchase the minimum land needed to develop the reload center, which is 65 acres. The purpose of this application is to secure SPWF funding to purchase all of the industrial zoned property outlined above, a total of 292 acres. Timing is critical to receive the SPWF funding prior to December 15th so the full industrial zoned land of 292 acres can be purchaed by December 31, 2019. This includes the 65 acers for the reload center and the remaining 227 acres of industrial zoned land. As soon as the Connect Oregon funds are availabale for the 65 acre purchase, they will be used to pay down the SPWF loan. The total funding also includes purchase of two irrigation water rights associated with the Farmer property to be purchased. The cost of land and water rights are shown later in this application. The water rights to be purchased include 51.1 acres from a well and 52 acres of Snake River water rights. General App?cation Rev 02-2017 Page 2 Response to Opportunity/Problem Brie?y describe the major alternatives considered to address this opportunity or problem: Malhuer County needed funding to purchase the 292 acres of industrial zoned land. Malheur county inquired with Business Oregon to see what were avaiable for funding. The County was encouraged to apply for SPWF funding to support purchase of the industrial zoned land. Time is of the essense with the land purchase for the 292 acres of industrial zoned land, along with the water rights associated with a portion ofthe land. The funds are needed in early to mid December 2019 to support the purchase prior to the December 31, 2019 deadline. Quick processing of the application would be appreciated. Detailed Project Description Clearly describe the proposed project work to be accomplished: The SPWF fund will be used to purchase the full 292 acres of industrial zoned land. The purchase price is $2,694,650, which includes $2,528,250 for the land and $166,400 for the water rights. As soon as Connect Oregon funds are avaible for the 65 acres for the reload center [estimated $60 0,000), they will be used to pay down the SPWF loan. The Connect Oregon funds are expected in early 2020. Project Work Plan List project activity milestones with estimated start and completion dates.
