Whereas, the State of Tennessee is the owner of a certain 40-acre parcel of property (the "Property") adjacent to Ellington Agricultural Center, located on the west side of Edmonson Pike south of Briarwood Drive and having the map and parcel number 14700000100, as shown on the map attached as Exhibit 1 to this ordinance.
