The Argos Town Council awarded a bid to Jackson Services out of Rochester for $35,000 to tear down the structure that served the community for several uses.
The building at 119 W. Walnut once housed generators used for electric services and it also served as the clerk-treasurer’s office. The most recent use of the structure was for the town’s library.
The cost to fix the structure as opposed to tearing it down was too great, according to the town council members. The building provided a good office space, but it was not easily accessible.
There is not a plan at this time to replace the structure with anything new.
