1.  Building in "As Is" condition, with the exception that the woman who owns it shall remove all the items she wishes to actually keep.  She has sheetrock and lumber that she will keep for an addition on her home which is stored there presently.  I explained I want her to leave the rest for us to handle and dispose of as we choose.
2.  We could turn the east coast project costs around by selling off some of the older items that are usable for the lower income and have value to support the other improvements without going out of pocket.
3.  We could use the back storage area which needs lots of work done to it to create a conference room after putting up a wall and finishing the exterior walls with studs and sheetrock and wiring it for modern appliances such as the television and DVD and a refreshment serving area.  We can solicit donations for the conference room furniture from some companies locally and in Raleigh who wish to assist us in creating new jobs locally.
4.  We could use the front office area as a demo area for the products.
5.  We could also use this as a training center, finders exchange and as a call room for creating new appointments for contracts we take in for new technology.
6.  We could get income from the state programs for creating a local training center to assist lower income individuals to get into new careers in the biotech field as salesmen, and offer a certification process for them.
7.  There is plenty of curb parking; the area is near two major interstates (I-40 and I-95), half way between New York and Florida with a mile or so off the I-95 interstate and Hwy 421, a few blocks north of the east-west main town road.
8.  Exterior needs some landscaping done; we can use volunteers we already have and get the plants donated from earlier projects and friends of the foundation itself.
9.  We could provide a small demo system for sustainable agriculture in a designated area and have an area for retailing product in a small space with counters we provide.  There is adequate room for a small community biosphere.
10.  The address is 401 North Wilson Avenue.
11.  The exterior measures 35' by 70' , and is 2450' inside and is in fair to good condition on the interior; it has excellent curb side appeal and a neat and clean surrounding of grass, with neighborhood domesticated rabbits running around who love the peace and quiet of the neighborhood it is in.
12.  There is baseboard heating, electric.
13.  There is one large window air conditioner, the building exterior is brick and concrete block wall.
14.  It is in a transitional area near other small businesses, and is zoned commercial/residential.  The property is owned by a wonderful woman I know.  She could supplement her income with rental money from the lease after a set period of time (which will be free), while we make the necessary changes we need and clear out the debris.  The old items can be sold or given away by the foundation, creating more visibility within the community and we could donate a portion of the money from the sale of some items to working projects we have for charity and in the local areas.
15.  It has two bathrooms, male and female, already there.
16.  It is wheelchair accessible at this time.
17.  We can utilize local elderly volunteers who wish to help us with educating the community and who wish to get out more, as well as educating younger people about the new technologies we have to offer.
18.  If necessary, we can utilize grant funding to update or improve the setting inside.
19.  The local fire department is one block from this building.
20.  I am working out lease terms that are financially feasible and reasonable for the foundation to support from donations it receives from sales of new technologies on the 10% fixed donations for product sales through our foundation from new companies who wish to have us assist them in training and motivating new sales representatives.
21.  We intend to use leased office equipment on an annual basis to cut expenses of buying to a minimum to create a nice work environment that is clean, efficient and colorful for the volunteers who wish to be trained at the location.
22.  We can rent desk space to new reps on a monthly basis, and they will be able to have their own phone systems installed from Embarq.
23.  We will provide a Pioneer 60" black big screen television for viewing the DVD training material, and comfortable clean upholstered matching folding chairs for the public we intend to train and motivate about the products.
24.  There is a long service counter where we can do baking, taste testing, and demonstrations, with plenty of storage below the countertop for equipment we are not presently using each day.
25.  There is an enclosed smaller office area in the front section which can be secured with a deadbolt lock to protect the products from theft.
26.  We could move computers we already own into one side of the front office where the desks will be rented out and put movable modular walls for privacy which we can buy at the state auction reasonably priced from other state projects.
27.  Let me know by phone at 01-910-897-4033 what else you wish to know about the project.
28.  I have several people serious now about wanting to participate with us on a fulltime basis with introducing the technologies locally and in the mid Atlantic states area.
29.  We will offer public education two nights a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7 to 9 PM.
30.  We will offer Saturday morning trainings from 9 AM to 12, and afternoon from 1 to 4 PM.
31.  We have already made the arrangements to purchase the appliances we need.  (Refrigerator, stove, and a new Vitamix blender) for the tasting, testing and baking area for some projects.
32.  We will install a 4' by 8' white board for public classes at night.
33.  We need a store front sign near the top of the building which will give us good road and traffic visibility from all vantage points.
34.  We are willing to sign a 60 month agreement for the lease to secure the building long term so that monies invested in the building will be well utilized over time.
