In a special session held Monday, the Town of Garner approved acquisition of nearly an acre of land in North Garner from Habitat of Humanity of Wake County. The Town plans to buy and hold the parcel to use in implementing the North Garner Plan.

The Town already owns other property nearby.  Other assets include Garner Historic Auditorium, Avery Street Gym, and the Avery Street classroom annex.  The new parcel is adjacent to the Avery Street facilities.

“The Town of Garner is working cooperatively with Habitat for Humanity of Wake County to identify some other parcels of land that will be used to construct as many as three future homes in the Garner area,” said Town Manager Hardin Watkins in a statement released early Monday evening.

The town will pay $75,850 for the .823-acre property at the corner of Avery Street and North Garner Road.  The parcel is presently undeveloped.
