Council introduces resolution to transfer 50.566 acres to CIC, schedules special meeting to finalize sale
Summary
Council introduced Resolution R9-2025 to transfer 50.566 acres (Parcel 215-020-0-00-014-00) to the Community Improvement Corporation and scheduled a special meeting for Feb. 20 at 8:30 a.m. to consider moving the related industrial-park sale forward.
On Feb. 12 the Washington Court House City Council introduced Resolution R9-2025 authorizing City Manager Joseph J. Dennon or his designee to transfer 50.566 acres (Parcel 215-020-0-00-014-00) in the industrial park to the Community Improvement Corporation of Fayette County and Washington Courthouse.
The transfer was placed on first reading during the regular meeting; no final sale documents were executed that evening. City staff briefed the council that the 50 acres in the industrial park are currently city-owned and that the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) would execute a sale agreement once the transfer is approved. The finance and personnel committee packet referenced a potential sale of a $1,250,000 city-owned property tied to this transfer.
Council members discussed whether to convene a special meeting to act quickly on the transfer. The council agreed to hold a short special meeting on Feb. 20 at 8:30 a.m. to consider moving the matter forward; the city clerk was directed to post the notice so the CIC purchaser can proceed if the council approves.
No final vote on the transfer was recorded at the Feb. 12 session; the special meeting agenda will include the resolution if posted as discussed.
