Board authorizes negotiation to acquire 0.32-acre parcel next to Blacksburg High baseball field
Summary
Trustees authorized the superintendent to negotiate acquisition of property adjacent to the Blacksburg High baseball field to improve access and allow future growth; staff later clarified the parcel measures about 0.32 acres.
The board voted unanimously to authorize the superintendent, working with a licensed realtor and legal counsel, to negotiate acquisition of a parcel adjacent to the Blacksburg High baseball field. The maintenance, property and grounds committee recommended the action to improve accessibility and preserve options for future growth on district-adjacent land.
Trustees asked several questions about acreage and price; staff said acreage was not included in the original packet but later provided a figure of 0.32 acres and noted a house currently sits on the lot. The board approved the authorization and asked staff to inform the board of any final agreement reached through negotiation.
