Summary
The Fayette County Commission approved a $5,000 contribution to NRG RDA to have the firm market the county-owned 900‑acre Wolf Creek property to its developer contacts, expanding on a recently completed feasibility study.
The Fayette County Commission approved a $5,000 allocation to NRG RDA to pay for additional marketing of the county‑owned Wolf Creek property, a roughly 900‑acre parcel the county is seeking to sell or develop.
Commissioners said NRG RDA previously completed a study of Wolf Creek that analyzed development opportunities and infrastructure costs, and the company offered an additional service to market the tract to its developer contacts. “If we are open to contributing $5,000 to pay for marketing the property … it will do that,” a commissioner said while moving the allocation.
Commission discussion clarified the allocation is for marketing only and is intended to help the county reach developers who might be interested in portions or all of the 900 acres. Commissioners noted the study included analysis of potential tax incentives and infrastructure considerations and that NRG RDA would not duplicate prior work but would build on it.
A motion to allocate $5,000 to NRG RDA passed on voice vote after a commissioner moved and another seconded. Commissioners said the county’s economic development staff and the RDA would coordinate next steps to present the property to potential developers and explore incentive options.
