Tom Brooke, current Town Attorney for East Spencer has reached out regarding the transfer of two (2) lots in East Spencer.
There have been discussions with various officials about foreclosures for many years because the County typically does not begin a foreclosure in the absence of an interested buyer. The sales in East Spencer were “in rem” foreclosures sold by sheriff’s sale. The Town would like to try and get control of some of its lots to generate interest in future development, so it is requesting that the County transfer the two lots in the attached Quitclaim Deed to the Town. We have done this in the past for Salisbury and Spencer where the lots had very little cash value, and the transfer would promote the Town’s ability to market and develop the lots that would ultimately benefit the county in future tax base.
The attachments in the agenda packet were drafted by Tom Brooke.
The Motion: Approve the transfer at no purchase price of two (2) lots in East Spencer, known as Tax Map 026 Parcels 161 and 268, to the Town as allowed under NCGS 160A-274 between two governmental entities.
