VDOT Economic Development Access Program Letter
Process
Basic industries are those industries that derive most of their activity from
customers outside the area of analysis (e.g. region, state), while non-basic
industries rely on markets within the region. Thus, goods or services
which are primarily “exported” outside the local economy are considered
“basic,” and the resulting new sales income and jobs that support this
export function become the primary engine of the area’s economic growth.
Many service sector establishments, with locally generated sales, arise to
support basic sector firms. These service sector establishments are
certainly important to the area’s economy, but would not be considered
basic as new income is not brought into the economy as a result of their
activities.
Manufacturing is a basic/exporting activity, with the exception of that
share of output which is sold locally. Likewise, raw-materials extraction
(mining) and agricultural activity are typically considered basic. However,
basic/export activity is not confined to manufactured or physical products.
Many service sector industries can be considered “basic” if they rely on
outside markets for their income and employment generation. Examples of
service sector “basic” firms could include a computer software design firm
(SAIC), a corporate headquarters sustained by earnings primarily from
outside the area (General Dynamics), a multi-state retail distribution center
(Wal-Mart), a customer service center (StarTek,Inc.), or a research and
development center (Wyeth).
There are several ways that industries can be classified as either basic or
non-basic, but a common, traditional way has been to measure by source
of customer revenues, From the state’s perspective, if the activity will
primarily provide goods or services to be sold outside of Virginia, or will
be paid for with funds from outside the state (more than 50 percent), then
the activity has been deemed to be “basic”.
This practice has been commonly observed over the years in
administration of state economic development and financing programs,
including the Private Activity Bond Allocation Process (in the 1980’s
when more than manufacturing activities were permissible), with the
Governor’s Opportunity Fund, and under the present Workforce Services
Guidelines. The premise has been that state resources would best be
targeted towards activities that would have the effect of increasing new
income into the state’s economy.

Upon Ben Chafin’s suggestion, Southwest Livestock, LLC, has agree to create an
irrevocable letter of credit from First Bank and Trust Company to Russell County Board of
Supervisors, ensuring that the County has no liability for the V-DOT frontage road at
Hansonville, VA.
Senator Chafin will ensure the legality by contract of no liability to the County.
_ has contacted me to re-submit the funding application backed by
J.R. Watson of V-DOT. - says the project will be made more viable as more
than 50% of the receipts come from outside Virginia.
The project is endorsed by six agencies and 432 citizens who have signed a petition of
support.
With these measures of assurance in place, the Russell County Industrial Development
Authority endorses this project.

Re: Economic Development Access Program Application
Dear Secretary Valentine,
We write in support of Russell County’s application for Economic Development Access funding
for an exciting new project coming to the Hansonville area of the county. The Hansonville
‘Agriculture Industrial Development Area is a unique concept in the region that will provide new
opportunities for the agribusiness community.
Agribusiness is the number one industry in Virginia and regionally in Southwest Virginia. We
have a long tradition of farming and raising livestock that continues today. The new agriculture
industrial park will attract new businesses to Russell County create much needed new jobs, and
bring new partnerships to the existing agribusiness economy in Southwest Virginia.
The proposed Hansonville Agriculture Industrial Development Park is located within a Federal
Opportunity Zone, which will enable the locality to provide additional tax incentives for
economic development and the creation of new jobs. The park will greatly benefit both small
and large agriculture businesses for the development of new projects while also creating new
competitive advantages for the region.
Itis the intent of Southwest Virginia Livestock, LLC to build a 44,000 square foot livestock
market within the agriculture industrial park on a parcel of land adjoining US Highway 19, one-
half mile south of Hansonville. The market will create twelve new jobs in addition to the
hundreds of cattlemen, truck drivers, and farmers utilizing the facility. Additionally, a new meat
packing plant located within the property will create thirty new jobs. The agriculture industrial
park will also serve as a joint educational project partnering with Southwest Virginia Community
College, Buchanan County, Tazewell County, and Russell County.
The area of Russell County in which the park is proposed does not currently have road access 10
US Highway 19. With the Economic Development Access funding, Russell County in
Page A6
Page A7
conjunction with the Bristol VDOT District will be able to create road access to the agriculture
industrial park. It is our request that VDOT build this critical road access to the project.
We respectfully request the utmost consideration for Russell County’s application for Economic
Development Access funding. The Hansonville Agriculture Industrial Development Park is an
exciting project for the region that will bring much needed economic development, new jobs, and
new opportunities for agribusinesses in the region.
Submitted with respect,

Dear Selection Committee,
| write in support of the funding application which would establish the Southwest Livestock
Center. The agricultural producers in Southwest Virginia have developed a strong collaborative
working relationship and have sought educational programming, and mentorship through
Virginia Cooperative Extension. The producers would now like to extend their joint work to
cooperatively market their products. In order for this to be feasible, the producers need a
livestock center that is easily accessed by the producers.
The Southwest Center will work cooperatively with the Virginia Cattleman’s Association to offer
a wide range of marketing venues and tools for local producers of cattle, sheep, and goats. In
addition to marketing, the Center can serve as a regional educational facility simitar to the new
facility in Dickenson County.
By enabling our producers to work together more efficiently, we increase their ability to adopt
new practices through the production cycle including marketing. This will not only improve the
quality of the product produced but also the profitability of the individual producer. Producers
will also reduce their marketing costs by selling their products through the Southwest Livestock
Center. The Southwest Livestock Center will also provide a boost to the local economy and
serve as an agricultural hub for the community.
We appreciate your consideration of this request.

DATE: October 30, 2018
TO: Russell County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Southwest Livestock, LLC
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Itis the intent of Southwest Virginia Livestock, LLC to build a 44,000 square foot livestock market on a
10-acre parcel adjoining US Hwy 19, one-half mile South of Hansonville, VA.
Grading on the site will begin immediately upon VDOT approval of the proposed access road to and from
the site. Itemized preliminary budget is attached.
Target date for opening the project is August 2019,
‘The facility will employ 12 people, plus 100’s of cattlemen and truck drivers using the facility The market

MEMORANDUM
TO: VCEDA Project Review Committee
FROM: Jonathan Belcher, VCEDA Executive Director/General Counsel
DATE: May 22, 2020
RE: Request from Russell County IDA for Modification of TDEC Loan
On 2/20/2020, the VCEDA Board approved a request from the Industrial Development
Authority of Russell County (“IDA”) for a $25,000.00 loan from the VCEDA Russell County
Account to be used to finance the purchase and installation of equipment, and costs associated
therewith, for an expansion of TDEC at 141 Highland Drive, Lebanon, Virginia. The loan was
to be due and payable in three (3) years in one (1) lump sum balloon payment, and if there were
at least fifteen (15) full-time and/or part-time jobs at the TDEC operation in Lebanon, Virginia
on the loan maturity date, then the loan automatically was to be forgiven and converted into a
grant. The interest rate on this loan was to be 2.375%, and the loan was to be collateralized by a
first priority security interest in the equipment being financed with these VCEDA loan proceeds.
In the process of trying to close this loan, it was discovered that a bank in Maryland has a
blanket lien on all of TDEC’s existing and hereafter acquired equipment. This blanket lien made
it impossible to close the VCEDA loan. In discussions with the company and IDA on how best
to work around this situation, it was proposed as an altemative that VCEDA just make a
$25,000.00 workforce development and training grant to the IDA for distribution to the
company. The IDA therefore has submitted the enclosed request to ask for this change. Because
VCEDA has a dedicated Workforce Development and Training Fund, which is funded from the
coal tax credit, there therefore is no longer necessarily any need to fund the request from the
VCEDA Russell County Account, which has a very limited available balance.
DRAFT MOTION
Motion to (recommend, not recommend, or table to) approve a request from the
Industrial Development Authority of Russell County (“IDA”) to rescind the up to
‘$25,000.00 loan approved by VCEDA to the IDA on February 20, 2020 for the
TDEC project, and to approve up to a $25,000.00 grant to the IDA from the
VCEDA Coalfield Workforce Development and Training Fund to be used to
assist with workforce development and ing for the TDEC operation located at
141 Highland Drive in Lebanon, Virginia. The VCEDA Chairman is hereby
authorized to execute any documentation associated with the foregoing and this
grant.
