Claiborne County approves $1 sale of 'Stone House' to The McNabb Center for women’s transitional housing
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2023‑051 to sell county property known as the Stone House on Straight Creek Road to The McNabb Center for $1 to expand a transitional housing program; the center has CHI3.0 funding of $408,100 for infrastructure and $95,000 in recurring annual operations.
The Claiborne County Commission approved Resolution 2023‑051 to convey a county‑owned property commonly known as the Stone House on Straight Creek Road to The McNabb Center for a nominal price of $1.
The resolution states The McNabb Center will use the property to expand the Jail‑to‑Work transitional housing program, providing housing for women re‑entering the community. The center reported it had been awarded CHI3.0 grant funding: $408,100 in one‑time infrastructure funds and an anticipated $95,000 per year in recurring operating support once occupancy begins. The resolution allows The McNabb Center to demolish and rebuild the site if that is determined to be necessary to meet program needs and compliance standards.
On the roll call to approve the original motion, 14 commissioners voted for and 7 against. The minutes list commissioners who voted for and against the resolution by name. The resolution includes a provision granting Claiborne County a right of first refusal at assessed value if The McNabb Center ceases to offer services at that location.
What happens next: The McNabb Center will proceed with property assessment and project planning under the terms of the grant and the county resolution. If the center vacates the property in the future, the county has first refusal rights at assessed value.
