EDA hears Altec request to abandon part of S. Center Drive to add parking; Board of Supervisors process expected
Summary
County staff told the Botetourt EDA that Altec has requested the conveyance of a portion of S. Center Drive for additional parking so the company can safely increase headcount; the Board of Supervisors must first pass a resolution of intent and hold a public hearing before any abandonment occurs.
County staff told the Economic Development Authority that Altec has requested the county convey a portion of S. Center Drive so the company can add parking and expand its workforce. Mr. Kyle Rosner said Altec is running out of room for parking and cannot safely add employees without additional parking capacity.
Mr. Rosner outlined the procedural steps: the Board of Supervisors must pass a resolution of intent to abandon the right-of-way, a public hearing will be scheduled, and the process will take a couple of months. Mr. Mike Lockaby stated the EDA will be kept informed and could be involved as details develop. The minutes do not record a formal motion or vote by the EDA on the abandonment request.
The record does not specify the exact parcel dimensions proposed for conveyance, any required easements, or whether Altec will pay consideration for the land; Mr. Rosner said more information will be provided later.
