Lansford Borough Council voted this week to place the former Zimmerman Produce building up for sale. The building, on Dock Street, was included with the purchase of the Lansford Train Station building.
A brief Bryan County Commission meeting Feb. 9 was dominated by financial issues as more than $1 million was transferred between county accounts and a resolution was passed to seek a request for proposals for a bond refinancing of $29.5 million.
The amount is a repayment to the general/countywide fund because of money needed in 2010 and 2012 by the water and sewer fund to cover debt service payments to the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority for a loan to cover infrastructure work done during those years.
In 2010, the amount transferred was $337,307 and in 2012 the amount was $673,350. The repaid transfer amount also includes $68,893 in accrued interest from those year to the present.
