Council accepts McCarty proposal for two downtown buildings, authorizes purchase agreement
Summary
The South Whitley council accepted the sole bid from Brian McCarty for two downtown properties and authorized the town attorney to prepare purchase documents for 206 and 208 South State Street; the motion passed 2-0 on Oct. 8.
South Whitley — The Town Council accepted a single business proposal for two downtown storefronts on Oct. 8 and authorized the town attorney to prepare a purchase agreement for the properties.
The proposal submitted by Brian McCarty would convert one storefront into a second location of his wife's clothing boutique and use the other space for storage and repairs tied to his cotton candy business. The plan also includes improvements that would add new apartments above the storefronts.
Councilman Trey Weber moved to accept McCarty's proposal and give Attorney Greg Hockemeyer authorization to draw up the purchase agreement for the properties. Councilman Brock Waterson seconded; the motion passed 2-0. The minutes identify the properties under negotiation as 206 and 208 South State Street.
No competing bids were recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not disclose sale price, closing timeframe, or specific loan or grant funding for renovations; those details will be in the purchase agreement and closing documents to be prepared by the town attorney.
