Further discussion ensued regarding a landscaping project being completed by the County. Commissioner Updates Commissioner Grant asked if the ownership of the entire 427 acres on TCAAP was with the County. Administrative Director Worthington stated the County took possession of all but 30 acres of the property in 2012. The remaining 30 acres were under lease by the Army to the County during cleaning. She reported the County was supposed to close with the Army on this land in July of 2016. This closing was delayed by the EPA and Army. This delay was not foreseen. She indicated the land would be owned by the County and would be transferred to the Master Developer. Commissioner Grant appreciated the County working on this issue. He questioned if the SO acre parcel known as the Primer -Tracer property was owned by the County. Administrative Director Worthington reported the Primer -Tracer property was not owned by the County. She explained the County was exploring the transfer of this 60 acre parcel to the County for a solar farm. She commented on a separate 90 acre parcel that would be used as a wildlife corridor/park space. Commissioner Grant requested staff provide the JDA with additional information on the solar farm and wildlife corridor trails being planned for TCAAP. Commissioner McClung asked if the two parcels being discussed as the wildlife corridor were Parcels B and C. Administrative Director Worthington reported this was the case.
