Survey, Consultant Costs Approved for Acquired Building in Culver

The Culver Town Council approved a motion last week to conduct survey work at 530 S. Ohio Street.  The cost shall not exceed $1,900.

In June, Culver town officials closed on the donation of the commercial property at that location at a cost of $11,400.  That amount was part of the donation agreement in that the town would pay closing costs, title insurance and the appraisal of the building.

The property previously appraised at approximately $245,000.

The Culver Redevelopment Commission members also approved a cost up to $5,000 to gather an architect’s review of the existing conditions to evaluate future action of remodeling or demolishing the building to better serve a town’s purpose. 

It’s not known yet what will happen with the property.  Some earlier discussions included use of that space for a start-up business, a new Town Hall building, or a community center.  There are a number of opportunities that haven’t been approved, but will be discussed in future meetings.
