Robersonville approves sale of two surplus parcels, opens upset-bid process for others
Summary
Council approved purchase agreements for two surplus parcels and authorized the upset-bid process for several others under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 160A-269; council also moved to temporarily reject bids from one bidder pending staff and attorney review.
Robersonville — The Town Council on July 9 approved purchase agreements for two surplus parcels and moved to begin the statutory upset-bid process for several additional properties.
Manager Chris Roberson told the council that upset bids concluded for Parcel ID 0702124 (offer of $7,300 from Debra Outerbridge) and Parcel ID 0700621 (offer of $61,000 from Charles James for roughly 22 acres on Rogerson Road, a portion of the towns former wastewater treatment property). Council instructed the town manager to sign purchase agreements for those two parcels and authorized staff and the town attorney to schedule and finalize closings under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 160A-269.
Roberson also reported the town has designated other tracts as surplus (Parcel IDs 0701944, 0701910, 0700436, 0700175, 0700290) and recorded written offers for each; the upset-bid procedure under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 160A-269 was noted as the legal mechanism to proceed. Separately, Councilman David Jenkins moved — and the council approved — a motion to reject all bids from Debra Outerbridge until staff and the town attorney review other options, a step that could affect the previously noted $7,300 offer.
The transcript records that buyers would pay surveying costs to subdivide and finalize sale tracts. Town staff will work with the attorney to complete or reconsider the transactions in accordance with state law.
