A motion was offered by Mrs. Catherine LaCombe, seconded by Mr. Pat Daigle, to amend the agenda to consider a report from Acadia Economic Development Corporation relative to the negotiation for the manufacturing space in the Crowley/Rayne Industrial Park. Motion carried.
A motion was offered by Mr. Jimmie Pellerin, seconded by Mrs. Cecelia Broussard, to approve the Minutes of the May 20, 2003, Regular Police Jury Meeting. Motion carried.
Mr. Paul Broussard, President of the Acadia Economic Development Corporation, presented results of the negotiations with David and Peter John, owners of LaPac, Inc., for manufacturing space in the Crowley/Rayne Industrial Park. In his introduction, he referenced past experience relative to economic development and commercial property settlements. He outlined historic elements that influenced negotiations including relocation or the consolidation of the Parish’s criminal justice system in the Park.
Mr. Broussard indicated that the owners of LaPac are considering the consolidation of their entire operation in the Industrial Park reporting that a $1.3 million offer was on the table for a lease purchase of the building, improvements and five acres of adjacent land. The offer on the additional property would include 100,000 sq. ft. expansion and would consist of $500,000 down payment plus $800,000 over the next 20 years at a 3% interest rate.
Mr. Broussard indicated that the $1.3 million extended over the 20 year period would generate $1.56 million for the Police Jury noting that the amount of revenue would sufficiently match state funding requirements under the capital outlay program. Mr. Broussard referenced the strong need to keep the business and the jobs in Acadia Parish and send the message that Acadia is a place to locate.
Questions and comments related to the subject were offered by several members of the Jury particularly on the job commitment and the concern over properties.
Reference was also made regarding EDAP funding offered by the Department of Economic Development for improvements and expansion in exchange for the job retention.
