Commissioners report on pending land deals

AUBURN — A series of land transactions that will lead to a new home for the DeKalb County Highway Department — and help pay for it — occupied the DeKalb County Council Monday. The County Commissioners are preparing to buy 15 acres on the east side of Waterloo as the highway department’s new home. They will pay the appraised value of $1,073,000 to owner Brett Henderson and an investment partner, Rich Allen. Commissioners are selling the existing highway department site in south Auburn to the City of Auburn for the appraised value of $305,000. They also are selling two unused tracts of land — one northwest of Auburn and the other southwest of Butler — to help pay for the Waterloo property.

Highway, street crews keep roads open

Street and highway crews put in long hours to make sure roads were passable when Mother Nature deposited between 8-10 inches of snow throughout DeKalb County Monday and Monday night. After a long day of plowing from 3:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, DeKalb County Highway Department crews faced an easier task and a 6 a.m. start Wednesday. “We’re really in pretty good shape,” county highway superintendent Ben Parker said about county roadways. The county improved its travel status from a watch, with only essential travel recommended, to an advisory Wednesday morning. The lowest level of local travel advisory, an advisory means routine travel or activities may be restricted in areas, and drivers should use caution or avoid those areas.
