RexCorp and Long Island Destination Group Present Revised Calverton Offer - Announce Plan to Meet or Exceed Competing Offer
8/13/2007
Uniondale, NY – August 13, 2007 - RexCorp Realty, LLC and Long Island Destination Group, LLC submitted a revised offering letter to the Riverhead Town Supervisor, Phil Cardinale and the Riverhead Town Board at a work session on August 9th. The revised offer states the joint venture’s intention to work with the Town to identify the densities and elements that are important to the Town to arrive at a valuation for the property which meets or exceeds that of the competing offer.
The 755-acre EPCAL Centre family entertainment destination proposal was originally presented at a work session to the Town Board on March 9, 2007, and subsequently at meetings with Rick Hanley, Riverhead Planning Director, who confirmed the project’s compliance with the Town’s current zoning criteria.
Scott Rechler, RexCorp's CEO stated, "We believe our proposal meets the Town's goals for the property to create an economic engine for Riverhead and achieves these goals within the constraints of the zoning currently in place. We think it is in the best interest of the Town and its residents to select RexCorp New Venture Acquisitions, LLC/Long Island Destination Group, LLC, a Long Island team, based on our experience, reputation, commitment to Long Island and on the assurance that we will work together to develop a plan which meets the Town's land use and financial goals.” Mr. Rechler further stated, “Based upon the Town’s willingness to consider a competing proposal which calls for a significantly more intense project and wholesale modifications to the existing zoning ordinance, we are confident we will arrive at a valuation that meets or exceeds that of the competing offer. Of equal importance, we will do so in a framework that minimizes impact and achieves a world-class project which is realistic and achievable within a very reasonable timeframe."
