CHAPTER 280

SENATE BILL 450

 

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF GOLDSBORO TO CONVEY WITHOUT CONSIDERATION CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY TO THE OLD WAYNESBOROUGH COMMISSION.

 

Whereas, the Old Waynesborough Commission is a nonprofit corporation organized under laws of the State of North Carolina for the purpose of restoring the site of the former Town of Waynesborough, located on the banks of the Neuse River just to the southwest of the City of Goldsboro, which town gave Goldsboro the County Seat as well as many of its early homes and citizens, and in connection with such restoration, to promote and provide historical and recreational facilities that would be of great value to the citizens of Goldsboro, Wayne County, and the surrounding area; and

Whereas, in order to carry out such program it is necessary to acquire approximately 32.14 acres of land along the banks of the Neuse River and belonging to the City of Goldsboro; and

Whereas, the Board of Aldermen of the City of Goldsboro has, after due study and deliberation, found and determined that the said 32.14 acres of land is no longer required or needed for any municipal purpose and is surplus city property; and

Whereas, the Board of Aldermen of the City of Goldsboro is of the opinion and has so determined that the best interest of the City of Goldsboro and its citizens will be served by conveying said 32.14 acres of land, without consideration, to the Old Waynesborough Commission in order to assist this nonprofit corporation in instituting and carrying on its historic preservation and recreational program with resultant benefits to the citizens of Goldsboro, Wayne County, and surrounding area; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
