December 2016, the Company entered into a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) agreement commonly offered in Georgia by local community development programs to encourage industry development. The net effect of the PILOT agreement is to provide the Company with incentives through the abatement of local, city and county property taxes and to provide financing for improvements to the Company’s Georgia plant (the “Project”). In connection with the PILOT agreement, the Putman County Development Authority provided a credit facility for up to $10,000 which could have been drawn upon to fund Project improvements and capital expenditures as defined in the agreement. If funds had been drawn, the Company would have paid transactions costs and debt service payments. The PILOT agreement required interest payments of 6.00% per annum on outstanding balances, which would have been due each December 1st through maturity on December 1, 2021, at which time all unpaid principal and interest would have been due. The PILOT agreement was collateralized by the assets of the Project. No amounts were drawn 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 2023 to 2028. Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $713,000 and $698,000, respectively.
