The Missouri Department of Transportation will sell its former Licking maintenance facility Thursday.
“These facilities are no longer needed to build, improve or maintain Missouri’s highway system,” said Right-of-Way Manager Sherry Glastetter. “Selling these properties through the Realty to Roads program benefits taxpayers because the funds generated are dedicated to roadway improvements.”
The Licking site contains 4.5 acres, shop buildings and Highway 137 frontage.
She added that ridding of excess right of way also saves maintenance costs, reduces liability and puts the property back on the tax rolls to the advantage of local communities.
The onsite auction for the Licking facility is at 3 p.m.
In addition, interested parties may view photos, videos and additional details about the properties online at www.modot.org/southeast/realtytoroads.htm.
Bidding will commence at the prescribed time, and no bids will be accepted before the live auctions. Bids must be submitted during the live auctions. Phone bids will not be accepted. All sales are subject to final approval by the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission. The Commission reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids. The properties will be sold in “as is” condition.
