The city of Cleveland recently received five bids for a ten-acre piece of property owned by the city located at 19 Campbell Street. The site also known as the Old Talon Property has been on the market for a while.
Monday following an executive session the council voted unanimously to explore further one of those bids for possible acceptance. Cleveland City Manager Kevin Harris said the council voted unanimously, following a motion made by Councilman Jeremy McClure to release four of the lower bidders and return their 3 percent deposit made at bidding. Harris said, “that also allows me to continue with the highest bid to further discussion and allow me to discuss that bid with them see what direction we could go.”
According to Harris, they want to examine what would be required by both parties to complete a deal to make sure it’s a winning partnership.
The highest bidder was from Larry Adams with Mountain Craft Builders, LLC for $805,000. Harris said if the council eventually votes to accept the bid they want to make sure it’s in the best interest of the city, as well as the buyer.
Mountain Craft Builders is a local family-owned home and light commercial construction builder.
