Block 8, Olympia Plat No. 1 is located between SE Vulcan Avenue and SE Dixie Highway in Hobe Sound. The owner, Marc R. Gaylord, P.A., a Florida corporation, purchased the property in 2005 for $110,000 and has offered to sell the property to the County for $60,000. The purchase of this property is being funded by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) as a part of a redevelopment project that will utilize the property for stormwater purposes. The property will be titled to the County as it is surrounded by County right-of-way and following its utilization in the CRA stormwater project, this property will have no future redevelopment purpose and will be maintained by the County.
The Hobe Sound Neighborhood Advisory Committee and the Community Redevelopment Agency have unanimously recommended approval of this purchase.
