From YouTube: County Board Wrap-Up: New Land Deal with VHC
Description
The Board approved a purchase agreement to acquire Virginia Hospital Center-owned property at 601 S. Carlin Springs Road.
B
This
actually
completes
that
deal.
That
process
will
now
be
done
because
we
had
the
agreement
with
VHC
for
land
swap,
and
this
was
an
exchange
of
county
property
in
North
Arlington
across
the
street,
from
the
hospital
they've
exercised
that
option
they've
gotten
their
plans
for
that
site
entitled.
This
is
the
last
piece
and
that
is
coming
to
terms
on
the
final
transfer
of
sale
between
the
Carlin
Springs
Springs
property
located
at
601
South
Carlin,
Springs
Road,
where
the
the
hospital
Urgent
Care
used
to
be
located.
B
That's
now
County
property,
and
we
came
to
terms
on
the
agreement
which
very
much
was
a
good
deal
for
taxpayers.
We
were
going
to
get
the
appraised
value
of
that
property
offset
by
the
swap
of
the
land
in
North
Arlington,
and
what
this
means
is
that
the
county
gets
a
valuable
piece
of
property
on
Carlin,
Springs,
Road,
plus
an
additional
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
cash
that
that
makes
it
square.
So
this
is
a
great
thing
where
we've
got
something
we
need
valuably.
We
need
desperately
land
and
then
extra
cash,
yep.
A
And
then
the
Virginia
hospital
said
there's
that
urgent
care
center
they
need
to
have
to
provide
some
urgent
care.
You
know
in
South
Arlington
so
a
little
bit
so
that
doesn't
just
completely
go
away
but
and
that's
been
a
natural
concern
for
folks
and
and
then
we
have
this
property.
The
question
is:
what
did
I.
B
A
Our
PA-
and
so
you
really
can't
build
there,
so
we
can
probably
improve
that
connecting
with
the
park,
which
I
think
will
be
good,
but
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
land
there
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
different
needs.
So
we
will
continue
to
look
through
and
see
what
see
what's
there,
but
the
building
itself
will
go
because
that's
that
part
of
the
issue
with
that
is
it's
very:
it's
I
think
it's
a
million
or
more
a
year
just
to
keep
running,
and
it's
not
suitable
for
it's
not
very
good
shape.
A
B
Of
yet
so,
the
hospital
will
be
able
to
occupy
it
until
the
end
of
this
year.
There
piecing
it
back
so
that
they
can
wind
down
their
operations,
so
it
won't
be
until
the
start
of
2020
that
we
actually
fully
possess
the
property
and
that's
when
will
will
bring
everything
to
grade
because,
as
Libby
said,
those
buildings
are
past
their
useful
life.
They're
not
going
to
continue
to
be
a
part
of
how
we
utilize
that
site.
