County will sell house, garage along Hwy. 19
November 13th, 2008County Commissioners decided to seek competitive bids for the purchase and removal of a house and garage in Gaylord.
Last month, the Sibley County Board of Commissioners purchased the former Muck property, located adjacent to the Sibley County Highway Department garage in Gaylord. The property is located along Highway 19 west.
Offers for the house and garage, which are to be removed, will be considered at the November 25 county board meeting.
