This notice concerns rules for public participation at Economic Development Advisory Board meetings in Columbia County. These rules, adopted by Resolution 2017R-23, govern how citizens can provide comments during meetings, public hearings, and workshops. The rules detail procedures for speaking, including identifying oneself, stating residency, and limiting remarks to two minutes per item, with the Chair having discretion for additional time. The rules also cover sign and banner display during meetings to ensure public safety and avoid disruption. This item is under review as part of ongoing board procedures. The scope of work involves establishing and enforcing these participation guidelines. This includes administrative tasks related to managing public comment cards and ensuring adherence to display rules. Local businesses involved in administrative support, legal services, and potentially signage or printing could be impacted by the implementation and ongoing management of these procedures. Early engagement with county staff managing these processes may offer insights into future needs.

ii. Request for Incentive: Sunstop Hwy 441 North- Katie Marzolf
Sun Stop is requesting tax incentives for a new travel center project. The project involves demolishing an existing store on Highway 441 North and constructing a new 32,000 square foot facility on over 10 acres. This new travel center will be a 24-hour operation for truckers and include a deli, a Wendy's, scales, and showers. The project is currently under review by the Economic Development Board and will go to the Board of County Commissioners for a final decision. Construction is ongoing, with a projected opening in January of next year. This development will likely involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work, paving, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about potential opportunities as plans and permits are finalized.
