School board approves negotiating purchase of parcel next to Blacksburg High baseball field
Summary
Trustees unanimously authorized staff to work with a licensed realtor to negotiate acquiring the property adjacent to the Blacksburg High baseball field to improve access and future growth; trustees asked for acreage and cost details (acreage later given as 0.32 acres).
The board voted to authorize the superintendent and staff to work with a licensed realtor to negotiate acquisition of a parcel adjoining the Blacksburg High baseball field after a recommendation from the maintenance, property and grounds committee.
Trustees asked about the size and cost of the parcel. A staff member indicated the property would "attach acreage" to district-owned land and later provided an acreage figure of 0.32 acres when asked. Board members said the purchase would open up opportunities for future growth, roadway access or possible facility expansion. The motion passed unanimously.
Next steps: staff will supply a formal acreage and cost breakdown to trustees and report back when negotiations produce a final agreement.
