I received the following from Dan Stachurski:

Joe and all:

No, a date for the auction has not yet been set.

Why?

Putting together an auction information package and a good marketing program for a commercial piece of property is turning into a much more complex project than was originally anticipated. It is essential that we do this work in a thorough and professional fashion in order to bring out top dollar offers for the property. Questions like, “What are the storm water requirements for this property? What is the largest building envelope that can be put on the property given county requirements? What impact will various uses, as approved by the Board, have on traffic on Route 589 and will that be an issue in the sale? What is the availability of utilities for the site, and what limits are there on this availability? What terms and conditions will apply with this sale (including, but not limited to, the types of uses the Board approved)? Are there any potential deed issues that may already exist with regard to this property?” And so on.

Each of these questions – and what you see is not the complete list -- needs to be answered and nearly every one require the services of others in order to put the answer together. It is simply taking more time to assemble this information than any of us had thought. As soon as the information package is complete and a marketing program agreed to, a date for the auction will be set.

Thank you for your question!
