Commissioners authorize realtor to make offer and feasibility review for downtown Cleburne property at 110 N. Main

Following executive session on April 14, the Johnson County Commissioners Court authorized the county to pursue acquisition of property at 110 North Main Street in Cleburne.

By unanimous vote the court authorized Realtor Hope Kirkpatrick to make an initial offer of $800,000 for the parcel, with a 120-day feasibility period. The court also directed Joshua Green, the county’s facilities management director, to contact vendors and prepare cost assessments for remodel work should the sale progress.

The motion and approval came after an executive-session real-property deliberation; the court voted to proceed with the realtor authorization and to perform due-diligence cost assessments before proceeding further.
