Ground Lease Agreement between the State

around Nov. 2005. With
the assistance of Camille Kluttz-Leach, Skip

have developed a draft ground lease using
the Centennial Campus ground lease and other
University-affiliated ground leases as
models. Following approval from the State

UNCG and NC A&T will need to approve the
ground lease and formally request approval
by the UNC Board of Governors. Following BOG

benefit from the use of this farm by being able to
provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS
can sponsor field studies that can serve as
demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local
and regional farmers. A&T constituents will also
benefit from this type of applied investigation.
Finally, A&T faculty and students can also benefit
academically by conducting scholarly research and

John Webb, CC Robert Nelson; John Merrill: I
was hoping that we might have an opportunity to
sit and walk through any hurdles that you see in
proposed lease between NCA&T/UNCG joint
Millennial Campus and GCID. Talking with John
of Friday. I've learned that he has gained a
significant commitment from the USDA for up to a
50,000 sq. ft. new building. While they
understand that we are working hard at getting
things properly set-up for all parties and are
being patient, my sense is that it would be in
the best interest of this new venture to get
that first client off to a healthy and timely
start. I'll be in Raleigh Wednesday for a
couple of meetings ... and would welcome the
opportunity to work the issues that you are see
in the lease. I know that John Merrill is also
pretty flexible this week is well. Sorry to be
a bit of a pest with this important issue and I
appreciate your understanding.
