County continues to consider Cornerstone property for future admin building

Posted

Following an executive session held by Archuleta County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) on Tuesday, Jan. 21, the BoCC directed staff to meet with representatives of Pagosa Partners I Inc. to further discuss the details of purchasing a property located at 2901 Cornerstone Drive for the purpose of building a new county administration building.

The BoCC voted unanimously to enter the executive session, which lasted for approximately 30 minutes before the regular meeting was reconvened.

Commissioner Veronica Medina previously explained that there is no real estate agent involved with the Cornerstone property and that negotiations are between the county and property owner.

County Manager Jack Harper explained that the matter discussed during the executive session was a letter of intent between the county and Pagosa Partners I for the purchase of approximately 5.52 acres of land to build a new county administration building.

Medina indicated that there were no decisions made in executive session, “but the conversation is that we just need to give staff, the county attorney and the county manager, direction to speak with the party and just hash out some more of the details and we will bring it back.”
