Auburn – The newly-seated Auburn City Council has unanimously approved a major city land exchange with a private development group. The move will provide Auburn with 134 acres of park land in northwest Auburn.
The city will trade 61 acres of land at Society Hill Road and Moores Mill Road with Adare Development Group, in exchange for 134 acres of land near West Farmville Road and Pear Tree Lane. The City now has much-needed space in northwest Auburn for recreational expansion, an area experiencing high residential growth and where the city has previously struggled to acquire property.
The agreement will move forward after a 45-day due diligence period, after a final decision is made after land valuation appraisals of both properties are completed.
