proceeded to handle any other business which may come before it.
Mesers W.A.Patrlck and J D Wright of Patrick Fruit Corporation next appeared
before the Board and outlined their proposal to construct a citrus concentrate Juicing
plant in Sanford at an approximate cost of $500,000.00 and requested the City to furnish
them a tract of land west of the proposed docks and terminal with approximately 400 ft.
frontage on Seminole Boulevard and depth of approximately ?00 feet, immediately east and
adjacent to ~he Atlantic Coaet Line Railroad Company property, as a site for same; advising
that they contemplate having the plant constructed and in operation by February l, 1950,
but that an agreement for deed to the aforesaid cite for the consideration of $1.00 would
be sufficient at this time. A~eo stating that in order to assure the City that the property
will be used for this purpose, a stipulation could be embodied in the agreement for deed
providing for the construction of a citrus concentrate plant thereon within one year.
Considerable discussion was then given to the amount of the large payrolls, the
number of new families that would be brought to Sanford, the furnishing of employment
for a number of local citizene, the numerous other benefits that would acc~'ue to the
community through the establishments and operation of this plant in Sanford.
Thereupon after careful consideration Commissioner Krider moved that the City
execute an agreement for deed to Patrick Fruit Corporation for a tract of land described
as: Beginning at a point on Seminole Boulevard at the northeast corner of the property of
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Compare, extending easterly along Seminole Boulevard approximately
400 feet, with depth of approximately ?OO ft., conditioned that a modern citrus concen-
trate Juicing plant be erected thereon with in one year.
Seconded by Commissioner Dyson and carried.
Commissioner Krider next gave a brief report on his trip to New York City and
conference with officials of the New York Giants Baseball Club relative to advancing the
City the necessary funds to construct a new stadium at the new athletic field, advising
that they would not make any definite commitment, but intimated that they would par-
ticipate in the cost of constructing the stadium. Commissioner Krider also advised that
he etopped in Washlr~ton D.C. and conferred with our Representatives and Officials of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation relative to the City's application for loan to construct
the proposed dock and terminal facilities, and as a result, was assured that the processing
of the application would be expedited.
~ayor Carraway next advised of the appointment of Commissioner Krider to serve
as Nayor Pro Tern during his absence from the City for approximately two weeks, beginning
August 16, 1949.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned.
