BACKGROUND
On October 25, 2022, the Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved Board Action 2022-341 to accept an offer in the amount of $9,000 to purchase County owned surplus parcel PID #112267, located on Jackson Rd., and initiate the upset bid process. The Gaston County Public Works office advertised the bid in the newspaper for the required ten (10) days and received no upset bids.
Under G.S. 160A-269, a County has the authority to “receive, solicit, or negotiate an offer to purchase property and advertise it for upset bids.” Under this statute, if the Board of Commissioners accepts an offer for said property, the County must then advertise the bid in the newspaper and allow ten (10) days for other bids to be received. Staff will bring the highest and best offer back to the Board of Commissioners for final approval.
Approval of this Board Action authorizes the County Attorney to draft necessary documents for the sale of this parcel and the County Manager or her designee to execute said documents on behalf of Gaston County.
