developments , sales , planned projects , and upcoming activities at Flowers Plantation Mr Stephenson provided the Board with a package of information including their latest magazine and newsletter He also shared a video from their website which highlights the Flowers Plantation community 4 Public Hearing – Economic Development Incentive Grant Advertised – The News & Observer Friday Zone Edition – January 26 , 2018 Chairman Jeffrey P Carver opened the public hearing for the purposes of receiving public comment on a proposed economic development incentive grant agreement Chairman Carver called on Johnston County Economic Development Director Chris Johnson to review the project summary with the Board Mr Johnson explained the project is a 65 million expansion at the Novo Nordisk campus in Clayton He stated the expansion consists of a 625 million investment in equipment and 25 million investment in facilities near the original plant location versus the site of the 2 billion expansion that announced in 2015 Mr Johnson reported the expansion comes with the creation of 18 new jobs and Johnston County was in competition with Denmark for the project Mr Johnson stated the Economic Development Office is very excited about the continued growth at the Novo Nordisk campus and he thanked Nate Groover with the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina , Ryan Combs with the Research Triangle Regional Partnership , the Town of Clayton , and Johnston Community College for their assistance and partnership PagePage pageNumber794 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued Chad Henry , Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Novo Nordisk Clayton facility , stated on behalf of Novo Nordisk , it has been a pleasure to operate in the community for 25 years Mr Henry stated Novo Nordisk has a special partnership with Johnston County and he appreciates the strong support for their continued growth Mr Henry reported without the County’s commitment and incentive program , the expansion would not have been possible because they are in constant competition with other facilities throughout the world Mr Henry also thanked Johnston Community College for their assistance and support by tailoring programs to train their workforce so employees can hit the ground running Mr Henry stated he does not expect this expansion to be their last and he appreciates the Board’s consideration of the incentive grant County Attorney Jennifer Slusser stated there are two matters for the Board to consider , the first being the economic development incentive grant agreement for the 65 million expansion and the other being an addendum to an economic development agreement from the 2015 expansion announcement Ms Slusser reported the economic development agreement for today’s expansion project consists of a 65 million investment commitment known as Phase I with 18 jobs at an average annual salary of 51,77800 She explained the incentive agreement is proposed as a seven year grant with the real property portion based on a sliding scale and the business personal property investment based on 50 of the ad valorem tax Ms Slusser provided a description of the Phase I expansion as the installation of a new assembly and packaging line to support market demand In order for the line to be installed there must be preparation of the facility to ensure Novo Nordisk is ready to accept the line into production Ms Slusser continued the plan is to have all the equipment in the facility by the second quarter of 2019 with the process validated by the third or fourth quarter of 2019 The investment is intended to be made throughout 2019 and it is anticipated the investment will be complete by that time Ms Slusser stated it is anticipated the additional employment will be made by the first quarter of 2020 She reported that although it is not a guarantee , there is an opportunity for a Phase II of the project perhaps within three to four years and if Phase II were to come to Johnston County there is a possibility that the grant term could be extended from the typical seven year grant to thirteen years Ms Slusser stated the grant being offered to Novo Nordisk is contingent upon certain performance commitments by Novo Nordisk to include the capital investment of 65 million and the creation of 18 jobs along with others within the agreement Ms Slusser stated if the Board approves the economic development agreement , staff anticipates the grant would begin in 2020 Ms Slusser continued that with regards to the addendum to the economic development agreement from 2015 , it is more of a housekeeping item in nature She explained there were some project cost reimbursements that the parties had agreed to that were going to start in 2017 ; however , the parties have now agreed to put those reimbursements on the end and divide the payments out for two years in 2020 and 2021 Ms Slusser stated this addendum will simplify the reimbursements for both Novo Nordisk and Johnston County She offered to answer any questions At the inquiry of Commissioner Ted G Godwin , Ms Slusser stated there would be no displacement of jobs and the incentive grant agreement for the 65 million expansion would be based on the creation of 18 net new jobs Clayton Mayor Pro - Tem Michael Grannis addressed the Board and stated the Town of Clayton is in full support of the economic development incentive grant agreement and are prepared to assist however it is needed There being no further comments , the Chairman closed the public hearing Upon a motion by Commissioner Ted G Godwin , seconded by Commissioner Chad M Stewart , and carried unanimously , the Board approved the economic development incentive grant agreement consistent with project terms as outlined by staff for the 65 million expansion as well as the addendum to the economic development agreement from the 2015 expansion project as requested by the County Attorney Note Both documents are on file in the County Attorney’s Office 5 Johnston Community College – Update on Capital Needs Johnston Community College President Dr David Johnson thanked the Board for the opportunity to discuss their capital needs Dr Johnson stated the College is aware that the needs of the County for the bond are much greater than they will be allowed to submit as part of the referendum He reported that by the end of thePagePage pageNumber895 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued presentation , the list of projects that are just the immediate needs for the College will total 91 million Dr Johnson reviewed the following information with the Board Dr Johnson stated the College is requesting 25,139,631 to be included in the upcoming bond referendum to construct a building to house the Engineering Program and Early College Academy He explained that in the fall of 2017 there were two early colleges and one middle college on campus ; however , the middle college will be phased out allowing for additional capacity for the two early colleges Dr Johnson reported the total enrollment for the fall of 2017 was almost 400 students , requiring at any given time during the day , 15 ½ classrooms which in turn took those classrooms out of inventory for the general constituents Upon a question by Commissioner Cookie Pope , Dr Johnson confirmed the middle college will be phased out and there will not be a middle college in Johnston County going forward He stated there will be two early colleges , one just for transfers and the other for technical training Dr Johnson noted there are currently 50 students in the middle college Dr Johnson continued his remarks stating the total enrollment for just the early colleges will probably grow to approximately 675 students in three years and at full build - out , they expect 800 students Dr Johnson stated this will help alleviate some of the capacity issues that Johnston County Schools currently has He reported since 2005 , the College has led the State in planning and implementing early colleges , middle colleges , and the Huskins and Career in College Promise dual enrollment programs Dr Johnson stated they do everything possible to grow those programs because they are critical to economic development in Johnston County as well as economic recovery , job attainment , college transfer , and upward mobility which ultimately supports a vibrant Johnston County Dr Johnson stated their mission of accessibility and success is putting a strain on the College’s facilities and infrastructure and is limiting opportunities for Johnston County residents PagePage pageNumber996 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued Dr Johnson noted the Carolina Population Center predicts student growth of 37 for Johnston Community College alone between 2016 and 2036 Dr Johnson stated the Engineering Program is a leader in the State with approximately 100 students currently enrolled and more students anticipated especially through the high school programs Dr Johnson expressed his pride in the fact that the College had two engineering students who received the Goodnight Scholarship , noting only ten of those scholarships were awarded statewide He stated in response to employers expressing a desire for not only engineers , but also for employees that can think like engineers , they are planning a new engineering technology program to help meet that need Dr Johnson stressed that the building the engineering program is currently housed in is at capacity and is not adequate to accommodate engineering labs of the future He noted the building is an old maintenance facility and they cannot expand the current program Dr Johnson stated there is an urgency to prepare current and future students for skills in the workforce to create and maintain the pipeline of employees for employers which they cannot do if they cannot grow He asked the Board to include 25,139,631 in the referendum for the building Dr Johnson continued that even with the immediate need for a new building for the engineering program and early colleges , they also have other pressing needs and he reviewed the following additional priorities with the Board Page097 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am ContinuedPage198 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am ContinuedPage299 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued Dr Johnson concluded the presentation by summarizing all the priorities and stated with continued growth , additional space is going to be required He reiterated that they are out of space for early college growth after this year and combined with the engineering program needs , it is creating a crisis because there is no room for expansion resulting in lost opportunities for Johnston County residents to get in the labor force more quickly Dr Johnson stated the College was recently named a 2018 Bellwether Award winner at the Community College Futures Assembly in Florida and stated they can continue to be the catalyst for additional opportunities if they are allowed to update their product , services , and facilities He asked the Board to include the 25 million needed in the next bond referendum and offered to answer any questions Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr noted there are still funds remaining from the last bond referendum for the College because some of those projects are taking a long time to complete He asked how long would it take to complete the building for the engineering program and early colleges Dr Johnson responded the College can break ground almost immediately as they already have the drawings and studies needed for the building construction He also explained that the 25 million cost estimate is for a turnkey building that includes parking , bus turnarounds , and a modification of the entrance to the College Dr Johnson stated the building itself is estimated to cost just under 15 million ; however , they arePage3100 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued estimating 25 million to cover contingencies , fees , site work , and other unforeseen costs He also noted that 3 million of the cost is budgeted for an escalation estimate in terms of when the building is actually constructed Dr Johnson stated the sooner they can begin construction , the more the cost could possibly be reduced At the inquiry of Commissioner Chad M Stewart , Dr Johnson stated they would build the structure on land already owned by the College Dr Johnson stated the building would be 71,000 square feet in size and he gave a general overview of the design and features Chairman Jeffrey P Carver stated once the County has received and reviewed financial and debt capacity information from Davenport , then more discussions can be held as to what could be included in the referendum Commissioner Mims asked if Johnston County Schools had any input into the proposed building Dr Johnson confirmed that the College did work with Johnston County Schools in joint meetings which began last spring Commissioner Mims suggested that when the College and Johnston County Schools meet , that they work together on all the needs rather than depend on the County to decide what can and cannot be included in the referendum Commissioner Lee Jackson asked if there is any talk related to a statewide bond referendum for community colleges Dr Johnson stated he has not heard any conversations about a statewide bond referendum for community colleges Commissioner Jackson commended the College on their recent 2018 Bellwether Award stating it is a very impressive award Dr Johnson praised his staff stating he is very proud of them and their work turning the College into a national model County Manager Rick Hester stated the Board of Commissioners ’ first action on a bond referendum would need to be taken in May He further stated that the Commissioners have instructed staff to put together a total number for the referendum that stays within the financial policies and the 78 cent tax rate Mr Hester reported he has communicated with both Dr Johnson and Superintendent Dr Ross Renfrow about the fact that the bonds may have a 4 ½ year schedule of sales that would take coordination from all parties Mr Hester noted that Johnston County Schools may be attending the March Board meeting to present their specific list of priorities He stated the County will do all it can to address the needs , keeping in mind that consideration must also be given to a future detention center that will cost anywhere from 35 million to 40 million 6 Johnston Regional Airport – Hangar Construction Project Johnston Regional Airport Director Phil Lanier stated back in June he came before the Commissioners with a plan for the Airport to move forward with the construction of two corporate hangars Mr Lanier explained after that meeting the Airport began work with WK Dickson on the project and has received construction bids He stated the construction bids received were higher than anticipated resulting in a shortfall of funding needed for the project Mr Lanier pointed out that the Airport Authority has reviewed the project and through due diligence and value engineering have tried to look at ways to bring the cost down Mr Lanier informed the Board that the Department of Transportation also looked at the lowest bidder Diamond Contracting and determined that because they did not meet the 5 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise DBE requirement nor put forth a good - faith effort to do so , the second lowest bidder must be considered At the inquiry of Commissioner Ted G Godwin , Mr Lanier reported the difference in between the lowest bidder and second lowest bidder was just over 90,000 Mr Lanier stated he along with Airport Authority Chairman Ken Starling met with the Department of Transportation regarding the hardship placed on the Airport by having to go with the second lowest bidder Mr Lanier noted there is a strong commitment byPage4101 February 5 , 2018 – 10 00 am Continued the Department of Transportation to come to the table with additional grant funding in the amount of 93,000 , but he cautioned that is not a firm commitment as of yet He referenced the following project cost information Mr Lanier stated they would like to move forward with the project and he is requesting the Board of Commissioners to adopt a resolution supporting the hangar construction project , acknowledging that the Airport Authority is seeking loan assistance to fund the shortfall , and approving for the Airport Authority to proceed with soliciting financing proposals necessary to cover the shortfall amount Mr Lanier stated if the Board adopts the resolution , it will allow the Airport to move forward with the construction project as originally planned He offered to answer any questions Commissioner Lee Jackson asked who would be leasing the hangars Mr Lanier responded the hangars would be leased by corporations , businesses , or groups and he has about four inquiries that have shown strong interest At the inquiry of Commissioner Jackson , Mr Lanier stated there are opportunities for interested parties to build at the Airport if they so desire , and the Airport can provide them with a land lease that complies with FAA regulations Mr Lanier acknowledged that with the hangar construction project there is more capital investment up front ; however , there is the ability to quickly see a benefit through rent revenue , tax revenue , and fuel sales Mr Lanier stated he calculates the return on investment at a little less than eight years Mr Lanier reported they have current FAA NCDOT grant funds in the amount of 600,000 committed for the project and future year non - primary entitlement funds , through an FAA grant program , of 150,000 each year and they have a commitment from the FAA that they can use those funds to pay down the loan for the hangar construction project Upon a motion by Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr , seconded by Commissioner Cookie Pope , and carried unanimously , the Board adopted the following resolution RESOLUTION OF THE JOHNSTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS IN SUPPORT OF THE JOHNSTON REGIONAL AIRPORT
