Houston County wants to delay the sale of the county farm center property for an additional four months.
County commissioners approved an addendum to the sale and purchase agreement with the City of Dothan during their Monday meeting.
The sale date was set for no later than Jan. 9, 2023, when the county commission voted back in March to accept the $2.2-million offer from the City of Dothan to purchase the property. If the Dothan City Commission approves, the new closing date would be on or before May 9, 2023. Initially, the county had a written offer from a Florida company interested in the developing the property located at the intersection of Ross Clark Circle and Cottonwood Road. At the time, the fact Houston County was even entertaining offers on the farm center property took many people by surprise.
Shoupe said the county is still working on a new building to relocate Homeland Security equipment used by the Houston County Sheriff’s Office and stored at the farm center. The sale also meant relocating the Veterans Affairs office, the Houston County Water Authority, and the Houston County Extension Office.
