After months of diligent negotiations, on January 16, 2008 Suncadia management and the Authority Board signed a Letter of Intent regarding the boundaries, easements and access to the Horse Park site and adjacent open space that will be used for cross country and combined driving competitions. This is a major milestone and resolves many of the issues needed for a Land Donation Agreement, thus allowing deed to the property to be transferred.

In other significant progress, on January 22, 2008, the Cle Elum City Council endorsed a proposal from the Authority Board to accept ownership of the land being donated by Suncadia in exchange for a long-term (99+ years) leaseback to the Authority at a nominal annual rate. This arrangement offers several major benefits: it will allow the Horse Park to avoid paying property tax on the land, and further underscores the close relationship and between the Authority and the City as the Horse Park develops into a major driver of economic growth for the surrounding area.
