Summary

Administrator Matthew Walker said a prospective buyer withdrew an offer for the Paradise Lane county property after the board voted to sell; a corrected newspaper notice is being addressed and a new offer will be discussed in closed session, with any sale requiring a new public hearing.

County Administrator Matthew L. Walker informed the board that after the Board voted at a prior meeting to sell the Paradise Lane property (Tax Map No. 402-14, 318 Paradise Lane, Deltaville), the prospective buyer withdrew the offer the following day. Walker said a newspaper article incorrectly reported the property as sold; staff is addressing a correction. A new offer has been received and will be discussed in closed session; any decision to pursue or accept an offer will require a new public hearing.

The board later convened closed sessions under Virginia Code §2.2-3711(A)(1) for personnel matters and §2.2-3711(A)(3) and (A)(8) for acquisition of real property and consultation with legal counsel. When the board returned to open session, members stated that only lawfully exempted matters were discussed.
