Council introduces ordinance to declare city property surplus for potential conveyance to Blackwater Development Company
Summary
On first reading the council read by title an ordinance declaring certain city properties surplus and authorizing conveyance to Blackwater Development Company for a proposed development intended to generate sales tax and jobs; the item will return for a second reading.
The Anniston City Council introduced an ordinance on first reading declaring specified city properties surplus and authorizing conveyance to Blackwater Development Company for a development the city described as intended to generate increased sales taxes and jobs.
Council moved and seconded a reading by title only; a public hearing was opened for comments and closed with no speakers. Because this was the ordinance's first reading, the council did not take final action on conveyance or sale; the ordinance will return for a second reading at the next council meeting.
The council described the purchaser as Blackwater Development Company and characterized the project as commercial development that could increase sales-tax revenue and create jobs. The transcript did not specify parcel identifiers, sale price, development schedule, or agreements governing tax incentives or performance requirements; those details were not presented at the meeting.
