Lockney council tables sale of LEDC‑owned building at 210 N. Main pending broker valuation
Summary
Council members discussed selling a grocery-store building owned by the Lockney EDC, listed on the agenda with a starting asking price of $32,000, and moved to table the question so the EDC can investigate and obtain a broker opinion of value.

The agenda listed "the proposed starting asking price for the property is $32,000.00." Brent Barker, president of the Lockney EDC, told the council the grocery-store building had been gifted to the EDC and that the EDC had been advised to publish and advertise the building for sale at appraised value and to market it to the widest possible buying base.
