The county wishes to offer this site for a direct sale at the fair market price to be developed to maximum allowable density for long-term affordable housing rental units, with restrictions to ensure affordability requirements are maintained for 99 years. An appraisal of the property is currently being completed and will be available to interested applicants at a later date.
