Commission told of Natchez Cuso tribe notice of intent for Ridgeville property
Summary
Staff reported receipt of a notice of intent from Chief Creel of the Natchez Cuso tribe seeking county consideration of a 14.43‑acre Ridgeville parcel with a listed price of $1.4 million; staff said an appraisal and match funding partners have not been submitted yet.
Carolina told the commission she had received a notice of intent from Chief Creel of the Natchez Cuso tribe for a 14.43‑acre parcel abutting the Addis To River in Ridgeville. The notice lists a purchase amount of $1,400,000, but Carolina said the applicant has not yet provided a recent appraisal or documented match funding partners.
When asked whether the letter of intent is public, Carolina said letters of intent become public once submitted to the county. She provided the parcel identification (TMS) number listed in the notice as 1250000032 and said staff will follow up on missing documentation needed for a formal application and appraisal. Commissioners did not vote on the matter at the meeting; staff indicated next steps would include confirming appraisal and funding details before any recommendation to the commission.
The commission also received brief notes earlier in the meeting about other potential private landowner outreach and ongoing conversations with land trusts and conservation organizations, but no other formal actions were taken on tribal or private land purchases during this session.
