At their meeting on April 9, 2012, the County Commissioners discussed the “Resolution Offering Certain Real Property to the Transylvania County Board of Commissioners,” and considered the offer to purchase real property located at 131 Island Ford Road, commonly known as the Cathey’s Creek Community Center. It was the unanimous decision of the Board of Commissioners to decline the offer to purchase the property. Norris Barger will discuss the next step in the process, which would be for the Community Center organization to present an offer to purchase.
