Board affirms intent to buy two parcels for planned school; $675,000 purchase price cited
Summary
The Burke County Board of Education authorized staff to execute documents to acquire two adjoining parcels totaling about 14 acres for a school; staff said the county commissioners previously approved a $675,000 purchase price.
The Burke County Board of Education voted to affirm its intent to acquire two parcels of land to be used for school purposes and authorized the superintendent, board chair and finance officer to execute purchase documents.
Burke County Schools staff described the parcels as Parcel 1 at 305 A Third Street SW (Hildebrand), consisting of 10.06 acres, and Parcel 2 adjoining US Highway 70 West (Hildebrand), consisting of 3.91 acres. Staff said, "The purchase price of $675,000 was approved by the County Commissioners prior, on March 17," and reported that architectural and engineering due diligence indicated the property appears suitable for school purposes.
Board member Johnson moved the resolution and Board member Taylor seconded it. The motion was approved by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" and "Ayes have it." The resolution authorizes board officers, in consultation with the board's legal counsel, to execute any documents necessary or expedient to complete the acquisition and directs the finance officer to make funds available to pay acquisition costs.
No closing date or additional financing details were provided in the presentation on the record.
The board's action affirms intent to acquire the parcels; staff will proceed with the purchase process under the authority delegated in the board resolution.
