Council asked to authorize $760,000 permanent easement purchase for Nancy Creek West Trail
Summary
Staff asked the council to authorize the mayor to sign closing documents to purchase a permanent easement from Chamblee 1st United Methodist Church for $760,000 to advance the Nancy Creek West Trail as part of park bond-funded trail work.
Staff told the council the city reached an agreement with Chamblee 1st United Methodist Church to acquire a permanent easement needed to build the Nancy Creek West Trail, a piece of the broader Savoy Trail and rail-trail system funded by the park general obligation bond. The staff presentation said the city needs council authorization for the mayor to sign closing documents and move forward with construction.
When asked for the final number, staff stated the amount as "$760,000" and clarified it is a permanent easement. Council sought a brief description and staff confirmed the easement will abut the church along Chamblee Dunwoody Road and connect to an existing trail spur. The council did not record a final vote at the work session; the item was presented for approval at a future action meeting.
