Council approves purchase agreement to secure land for new public works facility in industrial park
Summary
The council authorized a purchase agreement to acquire about 6.8 acres of land in the Aberdeen Industrial Park for a future public works facility and authorized the city manager to sign the agreement; the purchase price under the agreement is $301,000 and the council approved allowing site-preparation work to begin.
City officials on April 7 approved a purchase agreement intended to secure roughly 6.8 acres in the Aberdeen Industrial Park for a future public works facility and long-term municipal expansion.
Council members were told the agreement covers the amount Aberdeen Development Corporation (ADC) is spending to acquire the property; the purchase price shown in the agreement is $301,000. The agreement contains provisions allowing the city to begin site preparation work after execution, although the council was told final building design, bonding and detailed construction planning remain to be determined.
Ron (presenting on the item) described the transaction as the final step in a multi-party land exchange that began when the council returned a parcel to ADC in December to facilitate ADC's infrastructure grant applications. "This is the final step in the acquisition of the land that the city needs to expand its, and build a new public works facility," the presenter said.
The council voted to approve the purchase agreement and authorized the city manager to execute it. Roll-call voting recorded aye votes from a majority of members; Council member Ward recorded an abstention. The motion carried.
