| BACKGROUND: |
In 2004 Escambia County (the County) sold the property located at 600 Intendencia to the City of Pensacola (the City) for $2,670.00. The price at the time was based on the City's representation that it would develop the property as affordable housing. In 2013 the City was in negotiations to sell the property with two separate entities and obtained a value appraisal of $18,000. The prospective purchaser ultimately withdrew from the negotiations citing concern that the property is adjacent to the County's Former Mosquito Control Facility which is currently being remediated for previous contamination in the groundwater.
The City is obligated to use value appraisals as per their Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) stipulations. The County offered to purchase the property and on March 10, 2014 obtained a value appraisal of $20,000, adjusted for property use diminution based on possible contamination impacts. The City has signed the Contract for Sale based on the March 10, 2014 appraised value of $20,000. |
