“An unexpected opportunity to purchase” 102 Lura Lane

At its meeting next week, Oconee County Council will consider a resolution to buy additional property for its project to build a new jail. According to information that has gone out with the agenda for Tuesday’s meeting, “This resolution addresses an unexpected opportunity to purchase a tract of real property abutting the construction site for the Detention Center Project, which would enable the County to improve the design for the Project, provide additional buffering and site development improvements for neighboring properties, while actually providing a net (including the cost of acquiring the Real Property) cost savings to the County and authorizes the Oconee County Administrator to complete the purchase of the property.”  The property involved is 102 Lura Lane, Walhalla.
