Jean Marie Baer of Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins and Mott‚ LLP, Code Officer David Rainey and City Manager Ricky Tow were present to present the request.
Baer explained the property which was significantly destroyed by fire on New Year’s Eve, was foreclosed and went to sale on May 6. With no bidders it went to the three taxing entities. Montague County has already signed off its interest.
“If we can get it cleaned up we may be able to sell it to a developer who could do something with it. We are trying to do the best we can,” said Code Officer David Rainey.
