South Hunterdon School Board Approves $1.21 Million Property Sale Amid Septic System Concerns
- Meeting Overview:
The South Hunterdon School Board approved the sale of a property for $1.21 million, with the transaction expected to close in 30 days. The sale includes a detailed addendum regarding the property’s septic system, which has been a point of concern. The board stressed the importance of transparency.
During the meeting, the board discussed the addition of an addendum to the property sale agreement to address concerns about the septic system. The system discharges into the Alex Offen Creek, a regulated stream, and the permits are not transferable to new owners. This addendum was shared with all prospective bidders in an auction, emphasizing the need for due diligence by the buyers.
In the public comment section, a resident expressed gratitude for the board’s steps in addressing the septic system issue. The meeting also covered the auction process, with explanations provided on how bidding timings and increments work.
Additionally, the board addressed a community concern regarding tiles in the school building. Plans were made to document the tiles through video, preserving their memory while accommodating requests from parents for tile removal. The board aims to create a YouTube link featuring the video montage, complete with interviews from former graduates, to maintain the tiles’ legacy.
