Council authorizes $8,375 hazardous‑materials inspection for Loomis property under contract
Summary
The council approved a contract with Sigma Group for environmental due diligence and pre‑demolition hazardous‑materials inspection for $8,375 for a house under contract on Loomis; council noted the inspection was part of the purchase offer and said excessive demolition cost could void the purchase.
The Greenfield Common Council authorized an $8,375 agreement with Sigma Group to perform environmental due diligence and a pre‑demolition hazardous‑materials inspection on a property on Loomis that the city currently has under contract.
Council members said the inspection had been written into the city's offer to purchase the property and that the work would provide needed information on contamination and demolition cost estimates. "If it's more than the value of the property, we may not purchase the property," the mayor said during discussion.
A motion to sign the Sigma Group agreement passed on a roll‑call vote. The inspection is the next step in the city's due‑diligence process; staff said demolition and remediation costs discovered by the inspection will inform whether the city proceeds with acquisition and demolition.
