Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 158-7.1, Craven County (hereinafter “County”) intends to convey for economic development purposes a fee simple interest in a +/- twelve and seven-tenths (12.7) acre tract (hereinafter “Tract”) of land, the Tract being a portion of Lot 10 in the Craven County Industrial Park. The value of the Tract is Twenty-Five Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) an acre, for a total value of Three Hundred Seventeen Thousand Seven Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($317,700.00), and the County intends to convey and sell same for such value.
