An idea to purchase Market Square Shopping Center behind the historic courthouse was given the green light Tuesday by the fiscal court.
After coming out of an executive session to discuss the possibility of future acquisition or sale of real property, a motion was made by magistrate Thomas Bouldin to move forward with talking to Houchenâs Industries about purchasing the property which has several tenents for $750,000.
Bouldinâs motion drew a unanimous vote of approval but is contingent upon meeting all statutory requirements of the county to purchase property, including but not limited to, a building and deed inspection, appraisal, and possible asbestos cleanup.
