Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 158-7.1, Craven County (hereinafter “County”) intends to convey for economic development purposes a fee simple interest in a +/- 6.022 acre tract (hereinafter “Tract”) of land (a sketch plan for the Tract is available for inspection in County’s Office of Economic Development), the Tract being a portion of Lot 7 in the Craven County Industrial Park. The value of the Tract is Twenty-Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) an acre, for a total value of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Five Hundred Fifty and no/100 Dollars ($150,550.00), and the County intends to convey and sell same for such value. The County believes the proposed conveyance will stimulate and stabilize the local economy, result in the creation of a substantial number of new permanent jobs in the County, and result in increased tax revenues to the County. 

The Craven County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on these matters at 6:00 p.m. (or as soon thereafter as the matter can be reached) on 

Tuesday, September 5, 2023 in the Commissioners’ Room in the Craven County Administration Building, and all interested persons are invited to attend and present their views.
