The Tucker County Commission authorized the sale of 1.48 acres of land to Digital Communications, Inc., also known as Prodigi. The Commission approved the sale at the April 24th regular meeting.
The land is located along the northeast side of Butts Farm Road, County Road 72/7, in St. George District near the intersection of County Farm Road, according to documents supplied to The Parsons Advocate. The land acquired by Prodigi was a part of a larger 174 acre parcel owned by the County Commission in the area of the former “County Farm,” according to the documents.
A Memorandum of Understand (MOU) was approved by the Commission. In the document, the details of the land sale were outlined. In the MOU it was outlined that should Prodigi no longer have need or use of the land at a future date, the land and any improvements to it would be deeded back to the County Commission.
The MOU document also stated that Prodigi would prepare and gravel a parking/landing area between the road and the parcel of land owned by Prodigi. The parking area would be for use by the County Commission. The document also contained an agreement for Prodigi to provide free internet to the County Commission. The County Commission agreed in the document to a right of way that would allow ingress and egress to the parcel and a through gated road to the parcel of land.
The Real Estate Sale and Purchase Agreement stated that Prodigi purchased the property for $9,500. Also included in the document, it was noted that there are currently no utilities connected to the property.
Tucker County Commission President Mike Rosenau read the MOU into the record. The matter was approved unanimously by the Tucker County Commission.
The next meeting of the Tucker County Commission will be held Wednesday, May 8th at 9 a.m. at the Old Courtroom of the Tucker County Courthouse in Parsons.
