She said given the difficulty in finding a location, and the benefits of this location, the Board <br /> should move forward with purchasing the property. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott said she is in favor of being as efficient as possible in <br /> providing these needed services. She said she is thinking about the tariffs and hopes that it turns <br /> out that this is a good investment that will benefit residents. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to: <br /> 1) Approve the Purchase and Sale Contract for a 5-acre parcel of land located off Waterstone <br /> Drive in Hillsborough for the purpose of building a Crisis Diversion Facility; and <br /> 2) Authorize the County Manager to execute all necessary documents to close on the <br /> property upon final review by the County Attorney. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> c.
