Board authorizes land transfers and easements to prepare county farm site for Food & Beverage Innovation Campus
Summary
The county authorized multiple land transfers, lot-line adjustments and easement delegations to ready the former county farm property for the Food & Beverage Innovation Campus and related infrastructure; the county administrator was authorized to execute necessary easements.
The Jefferson County Board voted May 21 to authorize land transactions and easements to support development of a Food & Beverage Innovation Campus on property formerly known as the county farm.
Supervisor Jones described the set of land actions: transfers of identified lots and portions of outlots to the City of Jefferson for stormwater ponds, adjustments to accommodate a lift station, an approximately 5.11-acre parcel transfer from the city, and authorization for the county administrator to execute necessary easements as final engineering dictates. The resolution states the actions align ownership, maintenance responsibility and infrastructure needs and noted they require no up-front capital outlay by the county. The county’s finance committee recommended forwarding the resolution and the board adopted it by voice vote.
