Steps are being taken to purchase a building at 716 Plum Street in Plymouth for use as a storage building for the Marshall County Maintenance Department.
Buildings and Grounds Maintenance Director Doug Masterson asked the commissioners in November to look into that property as a possible storage building for equipment for the maintenance department.
At the time of the initial request, Masterson said that the county currently rents a small garage on the east side of the Marshall County Building on Jefferson Street and it does not suit the department’s needs and it has structural issues that does not allow for the adequate storage of all of the department’s equipment.
Marshall County Attorney Jim Clevenger updated the commissioners on the process Monday morning. He said a proposed purchase agreement was sent to three owners of the property which included zoning and environmental approvals. He is waiting for a signed agreement in order to move forward, but he indicated that it may take a while as one of the owners is out of the country.
