Council authorizes 15.38‑acre Jones Bridal Road purchase for $5.8 million
Summary
Council approved authorization to buy 10275 Jones Bridal Road (15.38 acres) from H Farm LLC for $5,800,000, saying the parcel is centrally located and valuable for future recreational or civic projects; the motion passed 4–3.
The council considered a motion to authorize entering a purchase and sale agreement with H Farm LLC for 10275 Jones Bridal Road (15.38 acres) at a purchase price of $5,800,000. Supporters noted the parcel is centrally located in the city, would provide options for capital improvements and address demand for recreational space; opponents argued the city already has substantial acreage elsewhere (referred to as Cully/Conley Creek) and questioned the financial prudence.
After debate the council voted in favor, recorded as 4 yays and 3 nays. Staff will proceed with the negotiated purchase consistent with council authorization and return to the council with closing information and recommended next steps for potential development or preservation.
