August 26, 2019, The Islander, Page 3 Development Authority approves loan for Rosbys Convenience Store by Pamela Permar-Shierling SIN Last Tuesday (August 20) in a special called meeting the Bruns wick Glynn County Development Authority approved a $57,000 Re volving Load Fund request to Odell Rosby, owner of Rosbys Conve nience Store at the corner of MLK and G Streets. Rosby was at the meeting and told the board that he wants to purchase the building he currently leases and upgrade the building and add some equipment. “We are known,” he said, “for the biggest burgers in Brunswick and they are always freshly cooked; pat- tied out each day.” “Our food is great,” he continued. “We prepare fish and shrimp. We are a neighborhood store and start ed gradually. Now I want to serve restaurant style food, and I want the building to look presentable.” Development Authority member Bill Austin said, “We should be do ing more of this. We should be put ting money into depressed areas. By loaning Mr. Rosby the money we are investing in local business. I com mend our president (Ryan Moore) for taking this step.” Rosby thanked the board and said, “You have nothing to worry about. This is going to work.” Rosby, who will contribute $7,000 of the cost to purchase and repair the building, will have 10 years to repay the loan at a 3% interest rate. The board adopted a $2,250,000 bond resolution for Frederica Acad emy to renovate their middle school, acquire 2.24 acres, and repay $460,000 of existing debt. There is no liability to the Development Au thority or to Glynn County. The board approved a 40 year lease for a cell tower at North Glynn Commerce Park. The lease is for five years with seven, five year re newal options. The company has three years to build the tower and will pay rent of $500 per month for the first option year nad $1,000 per month for the next two option years. The 153 ft. tower will be build in the northwest corner of the park.
