Nelson County panel authorizes sale of county-owned land to local developer
Summary
After a public hearing with no speakers opposed, Nelson County commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the chairman to enter into a contract to convey county-owned real property to a local developer corporation; roll call recorded 1,272 votes in favor and several absences.
Nelson County commissioners voted to authorize the chairman to enter a contract conveying county-owned real property to a local developer corporation, following a public hearing and a roll-call vote in which 1,272 votes were cast in favor.
The measure came after the board opened a public hearing on the proposed sale, then heard no speakers for or against the transfer. A motion to close the public hearing was made and seconded before the board considered the resolution.
"The resolution we have to be voted on today is authorizing the chairman to enter into a contract to convey real property," said Yvette Schwartz, chairwoman of the planning committee.
A member moved the resolution for adoption, saying, "Mister chairman, I move this resolution for adoption." John seconded the motion. The board then held a roll-call vote. The transcript records the following affirmative votes: Kavanaugh, Corbin, Cunningham, Davio, Doreen, Henderson, Jones, Kinville, Pinard, Roberts, Schwartz, Stepanski, Bossberg, Walrod, Wicks and Winn. Reger, Reuter and Stokes were recorded as absent. The tally recorded 1,272 votes in favor, and the resolution passed.
The meeting record does not specify the developer corporation's name, the precise parcel description, the sale price or any conditions attached to the conveyance. Those details were not stated in the transcript and are therefore not reported here.
Following the vote, commissioners moved to adjourn.
