More than a month after the final closing on the sale of the former firehouse on Corry Street, one financial issue remains unresolved.
Locally based comedian and actor Dave Chappelle has purchased the property at 225 Corry with the stated intention of turning the building into a comedy club and restaurant. The sale was conducted through the Yellow Springs Development Corporation, or YSDC, on behalf of Miami Township, the original owner, but various circumstances delayed the final closing until March15. As part of the sale process, the YSDC in July purchased the option to sell for a nominal $1.
There is a question, however, about who is responsible for the utility fees after the YSDC announced the pending sale to Chappelle in December until the final closing in March. The YSDC thinks the Township is still responsible; the Township disagrees.
