BACKGROUND

 

Gaston County is committed to retaining property only in instances where said property is in use or is part of the long-range Facility Master Plan.  North Carolina law authorizes counties to dispose of real property in accordance with the procedures in Article 12 of Chapter 160A by reference in G.S. 153A-176.

 

The real property owned by Gaston County and identified as Parcel ID #170825, commonly known as the “Mary Ellen Nelson Center”, is not necessary or useful for current or reasonably foreseeable County purposes. 

 

Approval of this Resolution declares the property surplus and authorizes sale of the Property using a sealed bid process pursuant to G.S. 160A-268 (as applied to counties by G.S. 153A-176).

 

The County will publish notice of sale by sealed bid for the Property in a newspaper of general circulation within Gaston County. The notice will specify the date, time, and location of the public bid opening and any conditions or preferences to be considered by the County when evaluating the bids.  The Board will consider the highest responsive, responsible bid for award. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids in its discretion and may direct that the Property be readvertised.
