Demorest DDA’s Piedmont Sublease Talks Leave Rent and Power Costs Unsettled

Demorest’s Downtown Development Authority discussed a proposed sublease involving Piedmont at its Feb. 27, 2024, meeting, weighing a $500-per-month arrangement that was described as running from March 1, 2024, through Sept. 10, 2028. The same discussion raised an immediate question over an electric bill of about $900 and whether the authority might pay part of it. The signed minutes record the conversation, but not a vote or completed agreement.
