BIDCorp Board bids for more time on proposals
BIDCorp heard two incentive requests on Monday and tabled both for further consideration. Mark Wilkes seeks 20000 to renovate the Brownfield Golf Club turning it into a multipurpose facility with potential for weddings and an on site restaurant while preserving four holes as greens and fencing part of the 290 acre property for a hunting preserve. Dustin Timmons requests 25000 in a three year loan to renovate office space as Crop Docs Research grows after relocating from the burned ASC Building. Tuggle recused himself to avoid conflict.
