Title
APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FOR SCTI NORTH PORT AND A JOINT USE LIBRARY
Description
The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida has a desire to provide an SCTI presence in the City of North Port. On September 30, 2014, the School Board and Sarasota County Commission met in a joint work session. At that work session the two elected bodies agreed in concept to a joint use library collocated with that SCTI campus in the City of North Port. The property represented in the attached contract would ultimately be the home to both an SCTI campus and a joint use library. The sales price of the property is $50,000 per acre, or a total of $1.2 million. The funds for this purchase are in the currently approved 2014-2015 capital budget, designed for SCTI North Port.
Recommendation
That the School Board approve the attached contract to purchase twenty-four acres of land along the Toledo Blade corridor to support the construction of SCTI North Port and a joint use library to be designed and used collaboratively with the Sarasota County Government.
