BACKGROUND
Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2022-294 on September 27, 2022, for the ARPA Dallas High Shoals Interconnect (SRP-D-ARP-0075). The project includes a booster pump station between the existing Dallas water system and the future elevated storage tank on Hardin Road. The pump station must be in the proper area for hydraulic purposes. Gaston County Staff, with the assistance of an outside consultant, have reviewed numerous potential locations and have determined this location to be acceptable for proper operation of the system. Negotiations between Gaston County and the property owner resulted in the attached Offer to Purchase in the amount of $30,000 with closing costs estimated at $8,000. Closing is contingent upon the date the Gaston County Board of Commissioners awards a construction contract for the ARPA Dallas High Shoals Interconnect Booster Pump Station project.
Approval of this Board Action authorizes the purchase of said property, directs the County Attorney to draft all necessary documents and make minor changes as necessary for the property purchase, and authorizes the County Manager, or his Designee, to execute said documents on behalf of Gaston County. In addition to the purchase, approval of the Board Action authorizes the transfer of any necessary funds to cover the purchase and associated closing costs.
