The county received a written request from the Puckett family to abandon about 9,800 feet of the roadway on Kings Point Island. A formal public notice approved Friday states the family holds title to property on both sides of the affected road segment.
Kings Point Road connects mainland Warren County with the Kings Point Ferry, which takes vehicles to the island.

GSA administers a program for the federal surplus property to be donated through a network of state agencies. County officials have expressed interest in the tower to expand communications abilities for emergency management.
