Unified Government accepts offer to buy two downtown Cusseta parcels for $50,000
Summary
The Cusseta-Chattahoochee County commission unanimously voted Dec. 2 to accept an offer to purchase two adjoining parcels (Map C08-0063 at 376 Broad St. and C08-0087 at 184 Wells St.) for a total purchase price of $50,000; deed and closing documents are included in the record.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County unanimously accepted an offer to purchase two parcels in downtown Cusseta during its Dec. 2 regular meeting.
Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to approve acceptance of the offer for map parcels C08-0063 (376 Broad St.) and C08-0087 (184 Wells St.), a motion seconded by Commissioner Jason Frost. The board voted unanimously in favor.
The meeting record includes a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement and a Limited Warranty Deed naming Linda Louise Beck as seller and the Unified Government of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County as buyer; the documents list a combined purchase price of $50,000 and provide legal descriptions of both tracts. The Purchase and Sale Agreement and deed in the record describe customary proration and closing provisions and identify the closing procedures and delivery of transfer documents.
County officials did not attach a public presentation explaining the county’s immediate intended use for the parcels in the minutes. At the Dec. 22 work session County Manager Thomas Weaver later discussed downtown property and a parking-lot project across from the courthouse, but the board record does not state that project as the explicit purpose for these two specific purchases.
The sale was recorded in the meeting file with the deed and associated exhibits; the commission’s official action on Dec. 2 was a formal motion to accept the offer, seconded and carried unanimously.
What happens next: the minutes and attached documents show the county has completed the necessary purchase paperwork in the record; any future land use, site development, or disposal plans must be brought back to the commission for authorization.
