BACKGROUND
Background
On July 9, 2024 the Guilford County Board of Education (“the Board”) declared the property known as Jamestown Middle School, located at 4815 Harvey Road, Jamestown, North Carolina consisting of approximately 5.15+/- acres, unnecessary for public school purposes, and therefore surplus property, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §115C-518.
Following the development and construction of Jamestown Middle, the North Carolina Department of Transportation acquired a portion of the real property owned by the Board for the construction of a right of way, which now consists of a multi-lane divided highway known as Jamestown Parkway.
As a result of the location and construction of Jamestown Parkway a portion of the land acquired by the Board, which was not incorporated into the infrastructure and site plan for Jamestown Middle and which consists of approximately 5.15+/- acres now lying north of Jamestown Parkway and depicted on the attached drawing (the "Subject Property"), was effectively subdivided from the land occupied by Jamestown Middle.
That portion of property identified as PIN#7821959112 and consisting of approximately 5.15+/- acres lying north of Jamestown Parkway, being a portion of ' that certain property acquired by the Board of Education pursuant to the deed recorded at Deed Book 6375, Page 1769 in the Office of the Guilford County Register of Deeds (the "Registry") and depicted on Plat Book 176, Page 18 of the Registry.
Consistent with the requirements of N.C.G.S. §115C-518, the Board of Education is offering the property to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) in the event the BOC desires to purchase the property for fair market value. If the BOCC does not purchase the property, the Board of Education will proceed with the process for the disposition of public property outlined in the General Statutes.
County staff has performed an assessment of the property for potential uses. It is our opinion that Guilford County has no current need of the property in question.
