Whitfield County OKs purchase agreement for Tharpe Building at $1.2 million
Summary
The board authorized a purchase agreement for 225 W. King Street for $1.2 million and gave county staff until February to complete due diligence, with an option to cancel based on inspection results.
The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners authorized a purchase agreement Nov. 11 to acquire the Tharpe Building at 225 W. King Street, across from the courthouse, for $1.2 million.
The motion, made by Commissioner Barry W. Robbins and seconded by Commissioner Greg Jones, approved negotiation and execution of a purchase agreement that includes a due-diligence period running through February. County staff reported the agreement includes an option to terminate the purchase should inspections or other due-diligence findings be unsatisfactory. The vote was unanimous, 4-0.
County officials stated the purchase is contingent on satisfactory inspection results; the motion did not obligate the county to proceed if issues are identified during the due-diligence window. Further steps, including closing timelines or intended county uses of the building, were not specified in the minutes.
