Dothan will pay $2.2 million for the Houston County Farm Center if the city’s offer is approved by county commissioners on Monday.
While discussing the offer during the Houston County Commission’s Thursday administrative meeting, county commissioners seemed comfortable with the offer.
People are also reading… The possible purchase by the city came up after the county commission received an offer from a Florida real estate development company. When the county considered its first formal offer during a December 2021 meeting, it took many people by surprise because they didn’t realize the property was even for sale.
The city will be buying about 42 acres. Along with metal buildings rented for events and the curved arena building, the complex is also home to offices for the Houston County Water Authority, the local Extension System office, and the Veterans Affairs building. Those offices will have to be relocated, and there is already a plan to put local veteran agencies in with the redevelopment around the old Moody Hospital building in downtown Dothan.
County Commissioner Doug Sinquefield, whose district includes the farm center property, said residents are curious about the City of Dothan’s plans for the property.
