BROOKSVILLE, FL There are so many questions about a Florida city s accidental sale of its water tower.
How in the world did it happen that after Bobby Read asked Brooksville city officials about buying a building in the shadow of the water tower, he ended up with the whole kit and caboodle?
Read, who plans to open a gym in the building, told city officials when the $55,000 sale was finalized earlier this spring that he thought the property description seemed too extensive, but the Brooksville City Council went ahead and unanimously approved it.
