BACKGROUND
Gaston County is committed to providing a safe, economical, and environmentally sensitive waste disposal facility for citizens and businesses which meets or exceeds all applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The Solid Waste Division of Public Works actively seeks to purchase available properties for additional buffer to minimize any potential impacts to neighboring property owners. Negotiations have been underway with a neighboring property owner for the purchase of approximately 10.1 acres located at 420 Fancy Hill Road, contiguous to currently owned Gaston County property. The owner of Parcels 216060, 216061 and 216062 has agreed to sell the property for a purchase price of $175,000.00. The price of $175,000 was based upon a third party, independent appraisal of the previously noted parcels. Approval of this Board Action authorizes the purchase of said property and authorizes the County Manager, or his designee, to execute the required documents for closing and deed recording purposes.
