Cherokee Set To Sell Jones Building
The county government moved out the building in 2008, and it has been vacant ever since.
After nearly five years of moving out of the Jones Building, Cherokee County could be close to a sell of the historic building.
The Cherokee County Commissioners will consider a sale agreement with Westbridge Partners of the former Jones Mercantile Building in downtown Canton.
The sale is slated to go for $1.8 million, and will also include a reimbursement in the amount of $200,000 to remove the facade from the building.
Commissioners will also approve a contract with Headley Construction for $225,000 to remove metal and stucco veneer from the building.
The building was occupied by the county government until late 2008 when it moved to its new facility in The Bluffs in northern Canton.
The Cherokee County Commission is slated to set a public hearing date for its proposed fiscal year 2014 budget.
The commission will vote to set the date for 6 p.m. Sept. 17. Residents will be allowed to provide feedback during the county commission's meeting during that time.
