Suitable Property Will Help The Outlook for New Sewer

Mayor Tune and City Attorney Sharber met this morning with the Crosslin family and their attorney to finalize a deal that will provide the city with ample land for any sewer needs.

The 26 acre property is located on Allisona Road with approximately 500 ft. of road frontage.   The Crosslin family is swapping this property with the City for 21 acres that the city purchased in 1990 from the Crosslins located off of 41A, North, behind the NewTown subdvision.  At the time, the city was also pursuing a sewer with hopes of using that land.

The swap will provide the city with more than enough acreage for our City needs.
