St. George’s council approves notice to expropriate parcel at end of Forest Drive
Summary
Council unanimously passed Resolution #5/26 authorizing the expropriation of an approximately 100-by-100-foot parcel at the end of Forest Drive and directed the Town Manager to begin required legal and procedural steps.
Mayor Conrad White presided as the Town of St. George’s council voted unanimously on April 14 to approve a notice of intent to expropriate an approximately 100-by-100-foot parcel at the end of Forest Drive.
The council passed Resolution #5/26, which authorizes the Town Manager to initiate all procedures required under the act; retain legal counsel, surveyors and any other required professionals; issue and publish statutory notices; and execute and register documents necessary to complete the expropriation.
Council members present—Deputy Mayor Bernie Mason and Councillors Selina White, John Pittman, Joe Blanchard, Sharon O’Neill-Parsons and Jean Legge—voted in favor; the motion carried 7-0. The resolution text in the minutes states the parcel measurement as “approximately 100 feet by 100 feet.”
The minutes record that council reviewed the public notice and approved the steps required to proceed. The resolution as recorded directs town staff to undertake the formal procedures but does not specify a timeline for acquisition, compensation, or a final use for the parcel.
The action is now in the hands of the Town Manager to follow statutory procedures and engage external professionals as required. The council did not specify further details about next steps or timings in the minutes.
