Maple Street Parcel Hits the Open Market

The town was able to recently rid itself of another tax delinquency that way.

The town has put 8 Maple St. up for sale.

The Town Council gave Town Administrator John Ward the OK to solicit buyers for the property at its last meeting. Rather than prepare bids, solicit them  and process them, which can take some time, Ward suggested it be marketed through a real estate agent, an idea the council endorsed.

The lot is currently vacant. It sits at the foot of Maple Street at the corner of West Main Street.

The town has had success selling seized tax delinquencies that way in an effort to get the properties off the rolls.

It recently sold the vacant home at 13 Morrison St. The outside of the home is in good condition, but the inside needs work, Ward said when the council discussed that property.

A for sale sign sits out in front of 8 Maple.
