Structures On 25 Plots Still Unsold
Structures on 25 state properties around Athens remain for sale through the Marietta Department of Transportation office. A Monday bulletin-board sale drew three bids, leaving multiple houses and sheds to be sold before the state may demolish remaining structures to advance Appalachian Highway construction. Purchasers from Athens and The Plains bought several buildings, each with a 70 day removal window, while earlier auctions in August moved 11 properties for a total of 4,199 dollars.
