Memorandum of Understanding with
 the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the
opening of the National Resources Conservation
Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose
service area consisted of 24 states and the
Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home
to the remote sensing lab. The Memorandum of
Understanding says A&T has a working farm with
modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will
benefit from the use of this farm by being able to
provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS
can sponsor field studies that can serve as
demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local
and regional farmers. A&T constituents will also
benefit from this type of applied investigation.
Finally, A&T faculty and students can also benefit
academically by conducting scholarly research and
publishing this information. |

Re: U.S. Department of Agriculture, natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Lease Project, Greensboro , NC
This correspondence correspondence to your June 30, 2006
inquiry concerning the status of this project as a firm
action that will move forward. As I have advised on
numerous occasions and want to reiterate, this particular
project is an endeavor which was approved by the U.S.
General Services Administration
 as
a sole-source" procurement based upon the unique
requirements provided by the NRCS...As such, we have been
working and are committed to diligently pursing satisfaction
of NRCS need for space to be located on the campus of
North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University
through a negotiated lease procurement |

| August 14, 2006
Terrance Feravich email to Joe Henderson, John
Webb, CC Robert Nelson; John Merrill: I was hoping
that we might have an opportunity to sit and walk
through any hurdles that you see in proposed lease
between NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus and
GCID. Talking with John of Friday. I've learned
that he has gained a significant commitment from the
USDA for up to a 50,000 sq. ft. new building. While
they understand that we are working hard at getting
things properly set-up for all parties and are being
patient, my sense is that it would be in the best
interest of this new venture to get that first
client off to a healthy and timely start. I'll be
in Raleigh Wednesday for a couple of meetings ...
and would welcome the opportunity to work the issues
that you are see in the lease. I know that John
Merrill is also pretty flexible this week is well.
Sorry to be a bit of a pest with this important
issue and I appreciate your understanding.
