Staff explained that the previous tenant in the warehouse space moved out on 1/31/22 and there is missing sheetrock in one of the office spaces in the warehouse. Staff also noted that the space was rented to the previous tenant in this condition in 2020.

 

Discussion by the board on how to proceed. Staff informed the board that several potential renters have looked at the space and have commented that they were interested in the space, but were concerned about having their business located in a space that was not finished and having their customers walk through an un-finished space.
