The Cold-Chain & Sourcing Survey (Report #1769303) lays out a four-workstream action plan to find off-market light-industrial flex space within a 30–45 minute ring of Charlottesville: EDA outreach, LoopNet saved searches, commercial broker outreach, and county property-portal checks. This page tracks progress across all four in parallel. Status pills, checkboxes, and notes are designed to print cleanly to PDF for the site-search working folder.
Report #1769303 names the Fluvanna, Buckingham, and Cumberland county EDAs as the holders of the strongest facility leads in the 30–45 minute ring — the off-market shell buildings and EDA-held parcels that CoStar and LoopNet cannot see. Letter copy for all three counties is already drafted at /eda-outreach-fluvanna-buckingham-cumberland.html; this tracker tracks the conversation side — sent, follow-up date, response, next step.

LoopNet will surface the publicly-listed subset of the inventory; it won't see the off-market EDA-held stock, but it captures turn-key flex and buildable pads we can negotiate on first contact. Save each search as a named alert in the IronRoost LoopNet account so owner alerts fire when new inventory hits the filters.

Commercial brokers representing Central Virginia tenants will already know which off-market flex pads have sat vacant for a quarter and which landlords will entertain a build-to-suit MOT. Cold-call each of the five below with the same one-page space-program brief and the same back-of-envelope rent numbers; the first brokerage to surface a viable building earns the listing call.
