(Atlantic) The Atlantic City Council has approved the sale of a city-owned vacant lot and two street closure requests for upcoming holiday events.
The council approved an order directing the city attorney to prepare the sale of the property at 7 West 11th Street to Clark Knop for $5,000.
Knop submitted the only bid for the property and plans to construct a high-quality residential garage valued at approximately $53,479. The purchase price meets the minimum threshold outlined in the city’s land disposal policy. Knop’s proposed garage meets the design standards of the city’s recently adopted stand-alone garage ordinance.
