Commission to consider transferring 15 acres to IDB board; parcel would be subdivided
Summary
Commissioners heard a proposal (Resolution 89) to transfer 15 acres to the IDB board; a presenter said the parcel is behind a business near Southern Gate and would be subdivided because the buyer does not need the entire tract. The transfer process will require action by both Houston and Stuart County.
The Houston County Commission added Resolution 89 to the agenda, a request to transfer 15 acres from the county to the IDB board. The chair introduced the item and said the transfer would involve both Houston and Stuart County.
Trevor (identified on the record by the chair as Trevor, S4) described the location as behind a business near Southern Gate and said a company is interested but does not need the entire 15 acres. "They do not need the whole 15, so we would be subdivided that into 2 lines," Trevor said, and indicated one resulting parcel would be "about 6 acres" (approximate language in the transcript).
The chair reiterated that the county would process the request and noted both Houston and Stuart County would need to complete the transfer steps. The commission listed the item for consideration on the agenda; the transcript does not record a formal motion or vote to approve Resolution 89 during this session.
Why it matters: the transfer could enable private development or a company use of county land; commissioners flagged the cross-county requirement with Stuart County as a procedural constraint.
Next steps: the item remains on the commission agenda for action by the relevant counties; no final decision is recorded in the meeting transcript.
