Orange Beach Rejects Beech RV Park Purchase Over $14M Price Tag

In Brief

The Orange Beach City Council voted against an appraisal for the 23.7-acre Beech RV Park. The $14 million asking price is double the estimated $7.5 million value.

The Orange Beach City Council (Alabama) at a special meeting on June 29 rejected a resolution to conduct an independent appraisal of the 23.7-acre Beech RV Park property. City Administrator Ford Handley recommended against purchasing the property for $14 million, citing drainage costs of $1–5 million, the need to hire four employees, and a risk to the city's reserve fund (about $120 million). The $15,000 appraisal proposal failed, and the council moved into closed session to discuss pending litigation.

According to another source, the city dropped the idea due to the $14 million asking price, which is double the property's appraised value of $7.5 million. The council decided not to proceed with an appraisal, and the property will return to the open market. Owner Flora-Bama holds an option to buy for $14 million and had discussed transferring that right to the city.
