The Project Development Board purchased the Virginia Alexander Building for $40,000 from Virginia Alexander, the old Boggess Chevrolet Building was purchased for $80,000 from Kathryn Costello, who is listed as a trustee for John Preston White, and the old Court Clerk’s Office and District Court Building was purchased for $136,000 from Dennis and Linda Thomas, the deeds stated.
Demolition work will cost about $65,000. Work may begin this week, but due to unforseen circumstances, may be pushed back to next week.
When the demolition work is complete, the county will have a gravel parking lot similar to the lot that was created where the old Trigg County Jail once stood, and the county will have a year to pave the parking lot and develop green space, Welker said.
