The Second Amendment to Commercial Lease Agreement with Option to Purchase extends the term of the MSPA’s lease agreement with Hancock Bank by six months with an option for an additional six months. The leased property is a portion of the North Port Property that includes the contaminated capped area. The MSPA purchased much of the North Port Property, but has been leasing this portion of the property until such time as the MDEQ issues an evidence of completion of the Corrective Action Plan for the capped area. Additional water testing is necessary before the MDEQ will issue the evidence of completion. The original lease agreement was for 10 years and was extended an additional year by the First Amendment. The Second Amendment has been executed by Hancock Bank and is awaiting review and execution by the MSPA.
