Fred Gans, Cornerstone Development (R-75, L.P.), is in the process of finalizing his financing for the construction of a two-story, 50,000 square foot office building on 4.099 acres of the AEDC-owned Ridgemont tract.

The lender has requested modification to the Economic Development Agreement and the Restriction Agreement. Pete Smith, AEDC attorney, provided a written summary of the documents and has approved the contract language. The contract provides for the following: If R-75, L.P goes into default, the lender will have an additional 18 months beyond the timeframe required for construction in the contract to construct the building with all the required restrictions. The AEDC would then pay the lender the incentive grant. The lender is liable up to $200,000 for placing the electric and telecommunications utilities underground. The lender has no obligation under the default provision in the contracts, which requires that the AEDC be repaid the difference between the 2004 Collin County Appraisal District value of the land and the sale price of the land should R-75, L.P go into default. Fred Gans agreed to sign a Personal Guaranty Agreement to cover the default provision in the contracts.
