Summary

The board approved buying a parcel adjacent to the river at 427 Hidden Valley Circle for $118,000 to support future flood activities; staff said the lot is under half an acre, outside the floodway but in the floodplain and already has a well and septic.

Haywood County commissioners approved a resolution on Aug. 18 to purchase property at 427 Hidden Valley Circle in Canton for $118,000 to support flood-related activities and staging.

Chris Boyd, deputy county manager, told the board the parcel is slightly less than a half-acre, outside the floodway but within the floodplain, adjacent to the river, and that the previous house on the site has already been torn down. "It does have a well and septic on it," Boyd said, noting utility infrastructure that could be useful for temporary or mobile facilities.

Staff said county planners identified the parcel as suitable for future flood-related operations. The board voted unanimously to approve the purchase and authorized staff to proceed with closing.

County officials framed the buy as preparing county assets to support recovery and future flood-response activities; staff said details about intended future uses will be developed as planning proceeds.
