Kings Mountain accepts Habitat for Humanity offer and begins upset-bid sale of four Myers Street parcels
Summary
The City of Kings Mountain adopted Resolution 26-07 on May 12, 2026, to receive a $1,500 offer from Habitat for Humanity Cleveland County for four City-owned parcels on Myers Street and begin the ten-day upset-bid sale process under N.C.G.S. 160A-269, with deed restrictions requiring occupancy by households at or below 80% AMI and a five-year reverter clause.
The Kings Mountain City Council on May 12 adopted Resolution 26-07 to receive an offer from Habitat for Humanity Cleveland County to purchase four City-owned parcels on Myers Street (Cleveland County parcels 8460, 13347, 44093 and 8450) for $1,500 and to begin the ten-day upset-bid process prescribed by N.C.G.S. 160A-269. Assistant City Manager Henry Earle told the council the parcels had been surveyed and Habitat completed due diligence to confirm the sites meet their needs.
The offer carries deed covenants: sales are restricted to qualified low- or moderate-income (LMI) households earning no more than 80% of the local area median family income as defined by HUD; Habitat must construct a single-family dwelling on each parcel that meets applicable zoning and code requirements; Habitat must submit an accounting of the subsidy transferred to the LMI household prior to conveyance. The deed will include a reverter provision that can return title to the City if Habitat fails to complete construction and sale to an LMI household within five years or makes certain disallowed transfers or leases. Council voted unanimously to receive the offer and authorize advertisement to begin the upset-bid process (motion by Shearra Miller, seconded by Scott Neisler).
