Pinellas County, Dunedin set to resume talks for Douglas-Hackworth property

December 11, 2020 - A new appraisal on 44 acres of undeveloped land in North Pinellas County positions the county government and city of Dunedin officials to resume negotiations to acquire the property. The local governments this week received certified appraisals for the Gladys Douglas-Hackworth property in the range of between $5.52 million to $5.55 million, according to a news release from the county. With the appraisals now completed, a meeting with representatives for the estate will take place next week to resume negotiations, the news release said. County and city officials also said they will submit a joint application next week to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for a Florida Communities Trust state grant. They hope that the grant, coupled with an ongoing community fundraising effort, would contribute toward the final acquisition and environmental restoration costs for the property, located on the northeast corner of Virginia Avenue and Keene Road.
