Athens County sets sealed-bid sale for county-owned 510 W. Union St., minimum $950,000
Summary
The Board of Athens County Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to offer the county-owned 510 W. Union Street for sealed bids with a $950,000 minimum and a public bid opening scheduled March 3; the vote was 2–0 with one commissioner absent.
The Board of Athens County Commissioners voted Feb. 10 to move forward with a sealed-bid sale of the county-owned building at 510 West Union Street, setting a $950,000 minimum and a public bid opening on March 3.
Commissioner Chris Chmiel moved to authorize the sealed-bid process and Commissioner Charlie Adkins seconded the motion; roll call recorded Lenny Eliason absent, Chmiel yea, Adkins yea. The public notice lists parcel IDs for the property and directs bids to the commissioners' office at 15 South Court Street, Athens.
The board's action follows discussion of facility needs earlier in the meeting, where Athens County Job & Family Services director Jean Demosky reported facilities strategy that could include leasing alternatives for other county tenants while pursuing sale proceeds to address near-term cash needs. The county advertised the minimum bid and scheduled bid opening for March 3 in the Athens Messenger public notice.
No sale is final until bid opening and subsequent county action to accept or reject bids. The commissioners retained the authority to waive informalities or reject any or all bids in the advertisement.
What happens next: sealed bids are due by the posted deadline; the bids will be opened publicly at the county commissioners' office on March 3, and the board will consider acceptance or rejection of bids in a future meeting.
