The Appomattox Town Council voted unanimously to approve the disposition and conveyance of town-owned property commonly known as the garment factory to Jamieson Real Estate.
Mister Campbell, the town manager, told the council the transfer will allow Jamieson Real Estate to record a consolidated plat after the property had been divided into multiple parcels. "This is simply us transferring the property back to Jamieson Real Estate so he can record the consolidated plat," Campbell said. The mayor said the step is intended to increase housing availability in town.
Council took the measure by roll-call vote and approved it 5–0. Council members recorded votes in favor from Miss Spiegel, Mister Cardwell, Mister Boyce, Mister Hensley and Mister Garrett. A council member asked that the mayor sign the deed immediately; a participant said the deed was on hand and could be notarized before members left.
