Board members described Wyatt as a new business owner, in operation about six to eight months, who is seeking financing to become an authorized dealer and to acquire equipment. At the meeting staff said Wyatt estimated a need of about $35,000 and discussed repayment over roughly four to five years; he also expects to hire one employee in the near term. The board noted potential county benefits: local governments, parks and other public entities purchase small equipment and the business could serve those customers if approved as a dealer. The business owner also mentioned he would not be seeking direct EDA grants but a loan.

Members asked staff to develop formal loan terms and return with a proposal at the next meeting. The board did not approve financing at the meeting; the action was a direction to staff to prepare a draft loan package and present it for board consideration.

No vote to approve funds occurred. Staff said they would work with Wyatt on collateral, terms and application materials and bring a proposed loan package to the board for review at the following meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EDA 6/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board asked staff to work with Garrett Wyatt to prepare a loan package for roughly $35,000 to support a small-engine repair and sales business; no loan was approved at the meeting.","taxTitle","Grayson County, Virginia","taxId",30990,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6183563,"EDA reviews future of Roundhouse property donated to authority; potential taker has expressed interest",219,1149000,1368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096406-d642afb22f620d3418fa1713c4fbd1d2&start=1149&end=1368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096406-d642afb22f620d3418fa1713c4fbd1d2/thumbnail_1149000.jpg","/articles/6183563/Grayson-County/Virginia/EDA-reviews-future-of-Roundhouse-property-donated-to-authority-potential-taker-has-expressed-interest","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183563-39e520d52c81d45ed98676189fb9c020/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151803&Signature=cLXelKg6KfWwS-jUDWGLpTeImwa-ZhBIaNgyCGcE-QL3ydjyJh5pk3upof8KDjVW48f3zy5hCU-W9ke8ZRZSC0mPfmu-Qqj4CsWrf871LSLTmyfoxrDbeEqhBijV9CwVGFfDHH70GLF9NsTax63I4aO60jk~ohMgoMkBlOuzQwlD0uoItPHET7SxkImFOWbPze7slDYU2f-7UWqBRwlW7jxBqyI3vJNJp3FgMyjTjkbB5sMsOxJkjsHyzPAysPalCFB4Rd022U6OLqOWmhTOfCxbodlAfrfyUTm3gAKVP2jHPtcRBgS~Q49PirMcXTWpzyHm9DaHLD9G4zl1lD87AA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grayson County Economic Development Authority discussed options for the Roundhouse, an EDA-owned historic property that was donated to the authority for $1 and for which the performance agreement with a prior developer expired with no work completed.

Staff reported the original arrangement involved a transfer of the property to the EDA and an agreement that the recipient would refurbish the site. That party did not complete the work during the multi-year performance period; the agreement later expired. A caller referenced as Dale Folwell contacted staff and indicated he might be willing to take on the property. The board discussed whether to pursue a developer to restore the Roundhouse as a historical site, to sell the parcel, or to allow an interested local party to take it on.

Board members described the structure as in rough condition and likely not salvageable without substantial work. One board member said much of the building had been gutted and that only some older timbers might be salvageable for a reconstruction if anyone chose to replicate the original structure. The meeting record shows no formal vote or change in ownership; the EDA still holds title.

Members asked staff to continue contacting interested parties and to return with proposals. No new agreement or sale was approved at the meeting.","The EDA discussed the Roundhouse, an EDA-owned historic property donated for $1 whose renovation agreement expired with no work completed; the board reviewed possible options including transfer to an interested party.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6183568,"Grayson County EDA moves unspent agriculture funds back to general pot, sets Aug. 31 deadline for delinquent taxpayers",527,79000,606000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096406-d642afb22f620d3418fa1713c4fbd1d2&start=79&end=606","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096406-d642afb22f620d3418fa1713c4fbd1d2/thumbnail_79000.jpg","/articles/6183568/Grayson-County/Virginia/Grayson-County-EDA-moves-unspent-agriculture-funds-back-to-general-pot-sets-Aug-31-deadline-for-delinquent-taxpayers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183568-3c880a9bd347ae5bb2a66167be28f085/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151803&Signature=b~ToOSUG7Dq9UY7OIS3f8L3af1CalfY5LJm4P-QCJVVGkwY11k5ERWBWC3CiW8ccHv2Ds~fVHdwA3gYP2o-PrnsTFN7VMwMz~JxGZ9yqhAcm6JnAOgw~tM58bW4o7ExAfQNaYm4gQTPH6Wnnz8W0oTR3JXY5iCLtdFB5hf6FoMXPBIvWeO3vG5VD9AVrHh2abcLpiHP1maFb7nHeWJgD9LTCsO-CQyy~-28qujE9UHdFsVHh9IwDxp4TZrVU7NTXVspxs3Qc8NQhYJJVkrR8XHihNuN1Wu~H7caZm4Vo8b0QQVGd9e~so8xCGH~TQ2YZeXCpFcjBBEeXn1E4LQtwng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Grayson County Economic Development Authority voted at its meeting to move unencumbered savings from an agriculture-support account back into the EDA general fund and give notice to taxpayers with delinquent taxes with an Aug. 31 deadline to claim funds.

The action follows a financial report showing a county balance of $560,634.04 as of June 13. That report said the Commonwealth Opportunity Fund reimbursement for an incentive to RPM arrived in May and was paid out in June, and that the authority paid $9,000 to the Virginia Agriculture Foundation for the remainder of a feasibility study. The meeting materials and discussion showed the agriculture-support line had spent $122,015.54 of a $200,000 allocation; the precise remainder in the transcript was not specified during the meeting.

Board members discussed whether to hold a portion of the EDA balance in case several recipients of public funds paid delinquent taxes and therefore should receive those allocations. Staff estimated that the outstanding exposure tied to a small group of taxpayers would likely be modest; during discussion a speaker said the potential payout would \"probably not be more than $3,000.\" The board debated whether to unencumber the funds immediately or retain an encumbrance until the Aug. 31 deadline.

A motion was made to move the unencumbered agriculture-support savings back to the EDA general fund and to give notice to those with delinquent taxes that they must resolve their taxes by Aug. 31 to receive the funds. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the chair called for \"all in favor, aye.\" No roll-call vote was recorded in the minutes provided.

Staff said they would email the affected taxpayers and, if funds are not claimed by the deadline, return the money to the EDA general fund for other uses. The board did not adopt a different reallocation plan at the meeting.

The decision frees previously restricted agricultural-support dollars for EDA use while preserving a short administrative window for delinquent taxpayers to claim eligible amounts.","The Grayson County Economic Development Authority voted to reallocate unspent agriculture-support funds to its general EDA account and set an Aug. 31 deadline for delinquent taxpayers to claim the funds, staff said at the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
