C031097Closed Session - March 10, 1977
At 8:25 p.m. the Board went into closed session to consider the acquisition of real
property, pursuant to NCGS 143-318.11(a)(5). Commissioners Kemp, Frye, Davis, Holmes, and
Mason were present. Also present were Frank Willis, County Manager; Alice Dawson, Clerk to
the Board; and Ed Gavin, County Attorney.
Mr. Willis told the Board that Rex Hurley had approached him with an offer to sell to the
County a 1.8 -acre lot located behind the McDowell Center for $8000. The tax value on this
property is $15,680, and it is zoned I-1 (Industrial Low -Density) by the City of Asheboro. Mr.
Willis said that purchasing this property would protect the County from an industry locating there
since it is zoned industrial and can be accessed from another property. It would provide a good
buffer for the McDowell Center and could be used for parking or other expansion in the future, if
necessary.
The Board discussed Mr. Hurley's offer to sell this property and went back into regular
session at 8:35 p.m.
