Why would Sterling Planet want to buy the biomass site,
unless they want to come back later and propose to build a biomass plant
on it?
Funny how the Industrial Authority didn’t mention this when
they said Sterling Planet missed the June 1 deadline
for building the biomass plant.
Here’s the relevant part of
this morning’s VDT story by David Rodock:
The other major announcement at the meeting was the possibility of
Wiregrass LLC exercising the option to purchase the 22.2-acre tract of
land that was originally planned to be used for the biomass facility.
“We gave them the option to purchase the land based on certain terms
and conditions,” said Gupton. “They basically sent us a certified
letter prior to June 1 stating they wished to exercise their option to
purchase the 22.2-acre tract of land within 60 days.”
“We are currently looking at the letter to understand if we agree
if they have that option and will continue our due diligence,” said
Allan Ricketts, project manager, via conference call. “We don’t know
anything other than they have sent us a certified letter indicating that
they would like to pursue that option.”
And why don’t you know anything other?
Can nobody pick up the phone and call Sonny Murphy and ask him?
You remember him, the Chairman of Sterling Planet
who recently said:
It’s not over until it’s over.
