Background: The Housing Authority of Columbus Georgia acquired the property

zoning guidelines. It has been determined that the City will not need said
property in the foreseeable future.
Financial Considerations: The property will be sold at Fair Market Value or
greater. The property and any related improvements would be returned to the
tax digest roles.

of the City Code. Property will be sold retaining easements for combination
utilities, storm and sanitation pipes.
