The price of two floors in an office building near the county courthouse shot up by $500,000 weeks before Cleveland County commissioners could buy it, The Transcript learned this week.
A purchase agreement for the third and fifth floors of the Financial Center building at 111 N. Peters Ave. was approved by commissioners 2-1 in March, with District 1 Rod Cleveland voting against it.
While an appraisal done in 2018 by Jim Artman valued the floors at $1.6 million, the commission will pay the list price of $1.8 million if it executes closing documents following an inspection period, The Transcript reported. Both floors total more than 12,000 of the total buildingâs 42,000 square feet.
