Surplus Properties Sales Planned

BY CHARLENE SHARPE STAFF WRITER

SNOW HILL – Worcester County officials are moving forward with the sale of two surplus properties in Snow Hill.

The county is now seeking bids for two properties — the former liquor control warehouse and the economic development building on Pearl Street. The Worcester Commissioners last week agreed to declare them surplus and approved plans to request bids.

The former liquor control warehouse, located on Snow Hill Road west of town, is a nearly eight-acre site with a 47,575square-foot warehouse building. The economic development building, located at 100 Pearl St., is a three-story, 4,554-squarefoot commercial structure.

“We’re selling it as is,” Chief Administrative Officer Weston Young said of the more than 100-year-old building.
