At the last two meetings, the board has discussed a proposal from Jim Yamin, President of Workforce Homestead, Inc., to purchase approximately 7.7 acres of land owned by the board in order to build an 84-unit development for workforce housing.  The property is located adjacent to N. Country Club Road and Gillespie Circle.  At the November 15 meeting, the board directed and authorized the superintendent to seek a terms sheet and written offer; get an independent appraisal; promote public comment for the December 6th meeting; and negotiate on the board’s behalf.  Dr. McDaris will give an update.  Amy Fisher of Fisher Realty of Brevard will be present to answer any questions
 
The board will discuss and may take action.
