The new lease agreement with high-altitude balloon operator World View brings Pima County into compliance with a court ruling, county officials say.
David Wichner The Pima County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a new lease-purchase agreement with high-altitude balloon operator World View Enterprises aimed at complying with a ruling that the original deal violated the state constitution.
People are also reading… The court ruled that Pima County violated the state constitution’s “gift clause” — which restricts transfers of taxpayer dollars to private entities — when it agreed to allow high-altitude balloon developer World View Enterprises to lease a $15 million facility at the county’s Aerospace Research Park south of Tucson International Airport.
Lesher said the proposed new lease-purchase agreement is structured like the recently approved American Battery Factory agreement, to avoid the gift-clause issue “while facilitating economic development and high-wage job creation and retention in Pima County.” The new lease also lowers the employment milestones World View had to reach under the current lease, though required salary levels have increased.
