Committee accepts Post Office offer, ends Highbridge lease negotiations
Summary
The county accepted terms to terminate a lease for the Highbridge post office site and recover county expenses and a one‑year lease payment after the Post Office sought additional site work; committee voted to accept the termination and recover costs.
Ashland County highway staff updated the committee on a stalled lease with the U.S. Postal Service for a planned Highbridge post office site. Matt Erickson said the Post Office withdrew from an earlier agreement and later returned asking for a retaining wall and other site work; the Post Office then offered to repay county expenses and a one‑year lease payment to terminate the lease.
"They are offering to pay us all of our expenses plus a 1 year lease payment," Erickson said when describing the Post Office's proposed settlement. The committee voted to accept the Post Office's termination terms and to recover county costs; members emphasized they had already completed site work and that staff should seek the reimbursement as offered.
