Parks Bond Preferred Properties
.gif){kind=small}
PDFCobb County's Board of Commissioners has identified the preferred properties which the county will seek to purchase using the citizen approved $40 million dollar parks bond initiative.
The County has an agreement with Trust for Public Land to assist with purchasing park lands. One of TPL's primary services is conservation transactions with public agencies for the purpose of transferring ownership of privately-owned land to public ownership and management.
TPL will act as an independent buyer and principal in land transactions, after which Cobb County will purchase the land from TPL.
The county will benefit from TPL's established tract record of success in negotiating complex real estate deals, a professional and streamlined approach with sufficient staff to expedite the land purchase process, an ability to assist in leveraging funds with private money and the potential to save money in the process.
For more information, contact the Cobb Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department at 770-528-8800.
