Greg, Unfortunately, this subject was not discussed at the 11/13/20 SBCA BOD meeting - would it be willing arrange a meeting with Port Ludlow residents, to discuss the future of the
Port Ludlow MPR Development Agreement in January of next year?

Subject: Port Ludlow / Jefferson County Development agreement status
Greg,
I understand you will be participating in the SBCA BOD meeting tomorrow via phone. As you may recall, on several occasions I have asked you to review and comment on the status of the
Port Ludlow MPR Development Agreement. Perhaps you could address that issue tomorrow.
The original Development Agreement (May 2000) was for a term of twenty years (2020). Then, in 2013, was extended by five years to 2025. As you know, the build-out of the Port Ludlow
MPR has been a dismal failure. At its present rate, we are looking at a 2055 completion!
Unfortunately, the long promised ‘most desirable Resort Destination in the Pacific Northwest’ has not been delivered. This failure by the Developer has cost Jefferson County the potential
loss of millions of dollars in revenue (sales tax, property tax, excise taxes - not to mention thousands of jobs and tourist dollars). What have you and the County done to address
these issues? Can you please explain why our neighboring Counties (Kitsap and Clallam) have robust growth in revenue, business, real estate developments and jobs, while Jefferson County
continues to be anti-business, anti-jobs and remains a financial disaster? Jefferson County is a party to the Development Agreement, and after twenty years of broken promises, the
Port Ludlow community deserves answers and some accountability.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Regards,
Bert Loomis

“Port Ludlow Associates (PLA) core mission is to build and develop The Master Plan Resort Community of Port Ludlow into the most desirable resort destination in the Pacific Northwest.”
“PLA met with the Board of County Commissioners in Port Townsend this Monday, to finalize an extension of their Development Agreement with Jefferson County. The extension was approved
and provides PLA with an additional five years within their development agreement, which is now set to expire in 2025.”
“PLA has approximately 400 remaining lots to build and develop within the Master Plan Resort (MPR) of Port Ludlow and has an option to acquire additional lots adjacent to the MPR.”
