Avery County authorizes sale of Avery CARES lots to CEW Services for $158,000
The Avery County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on May 6 to sell two surplus parcels identified as lots 30 and 31 on State Highway 194 in Linville Township to CEW Services, LLC for $158,000.

The resolution adopted by the board says each lot measures 25 feet by 180 feet and bears tax parcel #1836-10-45-689. The board cited North Carolina General Statutes §160A-268 and §160A-269 in following a statutory surplus-property and upset-bid process; the resolution records that CEW Services was the last and highest bidder and has paid the required five percent deposit. The sale is to be completed for cash, “As Is,” with closing to occur within 30 days of the May 6 meeting, and county officials were authorized to execute conveyance instruments.

The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Commissioner Wood Hall Young Jr. and seconded by Commissioner Martha Hicks; the vote was 5–0. The resolution’s text, read at the meeting, specifies the statutory basis for the sale and the upset-bid procedure the county followed.

The board did not discuss subsequent plans by CEW Services for the property during the meeting, and the resolution contains no conditions or restrictions beyond the sale terms and the statutory process. County staff will complete the closing paperwork and transfer the parcels to CEW Services if all conditions in the purchase offer are met.
