In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-269, the final offer for the sale of the property must be brought back to the Board for consideration and approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this land will convert a non-productive capital asset into $1,500 that may be reallocated to other County needs. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There are no Orange County Social Justice Goal impacts associated with this item. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There are no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impacts associated with this item. 2 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) Approve the sale of 0.45 acres of land, PIN #090032203, located in the Little River Township, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-269; and 2) Direct the County Attorney's office to prepare the necessary legal documents to finalize the sale and transfer the property to Ms. Bonnie Gates.
