We own the manufacturing facilities and the land on which the facilities are located in Fort Worth, Texas and Commerce, Texas. We believe that these facilities are adequately maintained and suitable for the purposes for which they are used. We currently lease our facility in Eatonton, Georgia from the Putnam Development Authority. In December 2016, we entered into a payment in lieu of taxes (“PILOT”) arrangement commonly offered in Georgia by local community development programs to encourage industry development. The net effect of the PILOT arrangement is to provide us with incentives through the abatement of local, city and county property taxes and to provide financing for improvements of our Georgia plant (the “Project”). As part of the PILOT arrangement, the Putnam County Development Authority provided us with a credit facility for up to $10 million that can be drawn upon to fund Project improvements and capital expenditures as defined in the credit facility. If funds are drawn, we would pay transaction costs and debt service payments. The credit facility requires interest payments of 6.0% per annum on outstanding balances, which are due each December 1 through maturity on December 1, 2021, at which time all unpaid principal and interest are due. The credit facility is collateralized by the assets of the Project. As of December 31, 2021, we had not drawn down on this credit facility.
We currently operate 13 retail locations. Each retail location sits on approximately five to seven acres of land. We lease 9 of the 13 retail locations we operate in the business, pursuant to leases expiring from 2022 to 2028. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $698,000 and $602,000, respectively.
