Nottoway supervisors accept high bid to sell county bowling alley, set 60-day closing
Summary
After vetting three bids and completing background checks, the board voted to accept the top offer for the county-owned bowling alley and set a 60-day closing date, directing staff to complete needed easements and due diligence.
The Nottoway County Board of Supervisors voted May 14 to accept the highest bid for the county-owned bowling alley following a staff report that three offers were received and two top bidders had cleared background and ability-to-pay checks.
County staff summarized the bids and the board discussed closing timelines and potential easement issues (a sewer line crossing county land was noted). Supervisors settled on a 60-day closing period measured from contract execution and directed staff to confirm survey and easement details prior to closing.
The board's motion to accept the top offer passed on a roll-call vote with five in favor and no recorded opposition. Board members emphasized the property had been a long-standing maintenance and redevelopment challenge and framed the sale as an economic-development opportunity for the purchaser and a way to return the structure to productive private use.
The county will finalize the sales contract, confirm required easements (including sewer easement language), and advertise or otherwise coordinate closing steps as needed.
