BACKGROUND: In the Winter of 2021, the Department of Economic Vitality began working with B-Unlimited to explore a range of expansion options to meet the company's need for additional space. Following an assessment of onsite expansion options and a City-wide site search for another location, parcel # 765-15312-001 was identified and an offer letter to purchase the property was received on January 13, 2022 from Cameron Clark, who is representing B-Unlimited. BACKGROUND OF B-UNLIMITED: A beloved local business, B-Unlimited was founded in 1994 as a screen -printing company right here in Fayetteville. Acquired by Ben Clark in 2006, the company has experienced significant growth over the past decade- launching a fully water -based print shop in 2013. Since this time the company has grown from one Sorority client here in Fayetteville to serving 250 college campuses across the nation today. In 2020, B-Unlimited merged JCG Apparel and expanded to six retail locations throughout the SEC (South Eastern Conference). From 2016-2019 B-Unlimited was named to the "Inc. 5000" list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States, and their growth continues to this day. Currently, B-Unlimited employs over 250 team members, with nearly 180 jobs located in the City of Fayetteville (30 of which are full time artists, making them one of the largest private employers of full-time artists in the City). Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 DISCUSSION: Economic Vitality Benefits and Metrics: The project is the relocation, expansion, and retention of B-Unlimited's national headquarters. B-Unlimited has called the City of Fayetteville home since it was formed in 1994. As the company continues to grow, this site provides them with the surety that as their needs continue to expand- they have room to do so within the City. • Employment: Retention of 180 jobs at an average of $20 per hour (annual payroll of nearly $7.5M). Creation of 50 jobs within the next three years that would bring annual payroll to a little more than $9.5M; • Capital Investment: Phase 1 investment of the new HQ of $5.5M; • Retaining the HQ of a significant employer within the creative economy who has consistently been named one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. Development Site Offer and Option Site: The offer letter received by the City includes a purchase price for the 17.46-acre tract (Parcel # 765-15312-001) is $278,280 ($15,938 per usable acre/$18,000 per acre with the exclusion of the pond which will not be developed). The offer letter also includes an option to purchase up to an additional 12.6 acres of parcel #765-16578-001 for $18,000 per acre within 12-months of closing on the development site, under a separate agreement. Initial conversations between B-Unlimited and the Department of Economic Vitality include utilization of the option site to recruit mutually beneficial businesses to the property, such as the development of 10,000-15,000 sq. ft. manufacturing spaces that can be utilized by other small businesses and entrepreneurs. These details will be discussed in a separate agreement per the Chief of Staff's response letter. Zoninq and Location: The City -owned property is currently zoned 1-2 Industrial. The site is bordered by Black Hills Energy Arkansas Inc. to the east, Hog Box to the south, a privately held parcel to the west, and City -owned Commerce District land to the north. The site includes a roughly 2-acre pond area, which the company will retain as an amenity on the proposed campus should Mayor Jordan be authorized by the Fayetteville City Council to sign a Land Sale Agreement with the company. Access and Future Industrial Drive Construction: Discussed further in the Chief of Staff's response to letter of intent (Attachment 3 of this packet) the site does not have access and will not until the Industrial Drive Extension is complete. Initial Land Sale Agreement Conditions: 1. Buyer will obtain a survey of the property at their sole expense; 2. Development Site shall be located immediately to the south of the proposed fifty -foot Right -of -Way as outlined in Exhibit B of the Chief of Staff's response; 3. Buyer must agree to dedicate right-of-way per City of Fayetteville Unified Development Code and Master Street Plan standards at the time of large-scale development; 4. Buyer shall pay compensation to the City of Fayetteville if the Development Site is sold within ten years, given the discount of $2,000 per usable acre; 5. Other conditions will be included in the Land Sale Agreement; 6. All Land Sale Agreements are subject to final approval by the Fayetteville City Council. Should this resolution be adopted by the Fayetteville City Council, City staff would begin the land sale notification process per section 34.27 "Sale of Municipally Owned Real Property" of the City's code. A separate Resolution authorizing Mayor Jordan to sign a Land Sale Agreement will be brought forward at a later date for review and consideration by the Fayetteville City Council. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: $278,280 in revenue to the City fund that owns parcel 765-15312-001 and $226,800 in revenue to the City fund that owns parcel 765-16578-001.

The general location and size of the Development Site and Option Site are shown on the map attached as Exhibit A.

The City anticipates that the Industrial Drive extension will be completed by Q2 2023; however, this is not guaranteed. Until the Industrial Drive extension is completed, the City understands that you will continue to access the Development Site through adjacent privately owned land. Development Site, City Council Process, and Land Sale Agreement Conditions Should the City Council pass a Resolution of Intent expressing their interest in selling the parcel, a 15-day public notice period must be completed before a Resolution to authorize Mayor Jordan City of Fayetteville 113 W.

Other conditions will be included in the Land Sale Agreement, All Land Sale Agreements are subject to final approval by the Fayetteville City Council. Lastly, since this land is reserved for economic development purposes, the Department of Economic Vitality would like to present the following information to the Fayetteville City Council during the February 15, 2022 City Council meeting, which were derived from Cameron Clark's email on January 13, 2022. 1. Capital investment for phase one; 2. Jobs retained, average salary, and total payroll; 3. B-Unlimited's intent to recruit mutually beneficial businesses to the Development Site and Option Site. Will you consent to City Staff using these figures in their legislative memo and presentation during the City Council meetings in which these items will be considered? Should the Fayetteville City Council approve the Resolution of Intent on February 15, 2022, the earliest the Land Sale Agreement could be considered is the March 15, 2022 City Council meeting.

Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 The adjacent undeveloped property to the north is similar and contains a drainage pond. The Fayetteville Sewer and Water offices lie directly to the west. The City of Fayetteville owns the adjacent 13.1 acre property to the east and south. The forest on the 13.1 acres is a much older forest. The property adjacent to the northeast is owned by Bright Technologies and is placed in a tree preservation easement, shown in green. SITE VISIT: Staff utilized the utility clearing that runs along the parcel's east, north, and south sides to access the site. Evidence of typical animals was found and seen during the site visit. Deer, coyote, raccoon, and other mammals are typically found in areas like this, and evidence of all three and many more was seen during the site visit. A few typical bird species such as crows, blue jays, and red tail hawks were observed during the site visit. FOREST: The parcels forest is 21 years old, which in terms of forestry is not very old. The oldest trees on the site are along the remnant fence row and scattered on the south border of the parcel. These two areas contained significant trees on this site. The rest of the parcel consisted of smaller 8- inch to 12-inch DBH (Diameter at Breast Height, industry -standard tree measurement) trees about 20-30 feet tall. The trees that have grown since 2000 are pioneer species of trees. Pioneer species are hardy species that are the first to colonize barren environments. Typical pioneer tree species are black locusts, honey locusts, Bradford pears, sweetgum, black cherry, and eastern red cedars. Invasive species such as bush honeysuckle, privet, and Bradford pears are also dominant pioneer species found on site. The significant trees along the fence row consisted of hackberry, bois d'arc, black gum, and cedar trees. This young forest benefits our environment in the forms of carbon sequestration, animal habitat, collecting air pollutants, stormwater mitigation, and other typical forest benefits. SOILS: The parcel is also located on hydric soils, which means the soil is saturated, flooded, or ponding occurs. The West Fork of the White River is .78 miles to the east of the parcel. Town Branch is .45 miles north of the parcel. A drainage channel runs along the east side of the parcel and drains into the West Fork of the White River. CONCLUSION: The 19-acre parcel has a few significant trees worth preserving along the remnant fence row that runs through the middle of the property and a few along the southern property line. Overall, the forest is low quality because it is a very young forest dominated by pioneer species and invasive species understory. ATTACHMENTS: Maps showing the history of the property.
