Council approves transfer-and-sale of 241 East Main to housing developer
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing the sale of 241 East Main Street to Southern Tier Environments for Living after foreclosure for unpaid taxes; council and developer said the site will be included in a larger East End redevelopment package.
The Common Council approved Resolution 25 26 1 98 authorizing sale of 241 East Main Street to Southern Tier Environments for Living, Inc., following tax-default proceedings. Council members said the property is in poor condition, the owner failed to pay taxes, and the developer needs the parcel to assemble a state funding application for a project modeled on prior East Main Street redevelopment.
One council member said the building sits between Bory Street and John Street and described it as a large, deteriorated red brick building; city officials recommended endorsing the sale to secure ownership for the redevelopment package. The resolution passed by roll call. Council members noted the proposed project would expand area services and aesthetics on the East End while seeking state funding to support the work.
