KNIGHT ENDORSES TOWN HALL TRADE - Satterfield Would Erect Convenience Store

(03/28/2003)

Proposed Main Street site for new town building Grantsville Mayor Gary Knight has endorsed a plan for a new town hall. Businessman Steve Satterfield has wanted to build a new convenience store on the town property for several years, but his proposals have been rejected. Knight now describes Satterfield's proposal as "a win-win situation for both parties." Knight said "We would like a change of facilities and it would be a boon to the town." The Council unanimously passed a motion in June, 2000, they "would never be interested in entertaining the trade between Steve Satterfield and the town." Satterfield has proposed a deal which involves purchasing the old town hall and property and erecting a new building for the town on a lot he owns on Main Street. The current town building is in disrepair, according to Knight. "It would cost a great deal of money to get the building to a safe standard," he said.

He asked Council if they wanted to pursue the exchange of property and enter into further discussion. The motion passed, three members voting for with one abstention. The issue will be discussed at the next Council meeting on April 7th.
