Background and Discussion:
The original agreement was executed on September 15, 2015, Tenant entered a ten-year lease with B. H. Commercial Portfolio, LLC. Then on December 9, 2020, the Property was sold.

Expected Impact:
This lease agreement will extend the term through and end on March 31, 2031, allowing uninterrupted WIC service that is provided to the local community in the addressed listed above.
