Washington cancels property auction
US Auction Info
Washington’s City Council will not auction 16 city-owned parcels.
Instead, the council decided to pull two lots from the list of 16 lots the city intended to sell at auction and ask for auctioneers to submit bids on the pared list. The council will further explore its options at its Sept. 18 meeting.
During its meeting Monday, the council was expected to declare 16 city-owned parcels as surplus property and authorize the sale of those lots by Country Boys Auction & Realty Co.
A proposal, by the Rev. David Moore, chief executive officer of Metropolitan Housing and Community Development Corp., that the city donate two parcels (which could be subdivided into seven lots) to Metropolitan caused the council to hold off on selling the 16 parcels.
