Oconee County Industrial Development Authority Extends Purchase Contract For Clyde Armory For One Year
The IDA had made the decision in executive session earlier in the week and met to make the decision public.
The Oconee County Industrial Authority voted in a called meeting last Thursday morning to extend its purchase agreement with the owner of Clyde Armory until Nov. 15, 2015, for property the IDA owns south of SR 316 in the west of the county.
The IDA had agreed to the terms of the extension in an executive session at the end of its regular meeting on Oct. 13 but had not taken formal action in public. The meeting on Thursday was to make public the decision.
The actual meeting lasted only two-and-a-half minutes and was attended by only five of the IDA’s 11 members, but four of those five were constitutional members of the Authority, who vote on financial matters involving the Authority.
