Explanation
§ John Gerald “Jerry” Blackmon was a long-time Charlotte resident whose civic-mindedness and generosity led him to serve his state, county, and local community in many ways, including as a Senator and County Commissioner.
§ Jerry was attentive to the city’s efforts to meet the affordable housing challenge. Before his death in June of 2019, he arranged for two vacant properties owned by him to be donated to the City of Charlotte upon his death.
§ Both of the properties are located next to the city’s Arrowood Station on the LYNX Blue Line.
§ The property with parcel identification number 205-171-25 consists of 15.64 acres with a tax value of $2,256,300, and the property parcel identification number 205-173-03 consists of 4.523 acres with a tax value of $2,298,200. Both parcels total 20.1 acres and have a combined tax value of $4,554,500.
§ Both parcels are currently zoned Transit Oriented Development-Community Center (TOD-CC) located in Council District 3.
§ This transaction is consistent with the Council-adopted City-Owned Real Estate and Facilities Policy.
