01 May Park UB Acquires New Property

The Park UB church in Bluffton, Ind., was able to purchase property directly across the street for a bargain price of $20,100. The property had previously served as the local school district administration building.
The school district had to advertise the building twice. The church won the first bid, but since the bid fell short of the required 90 percent of the building’s $60,000 assessed value, the dist4rict had to advertise it again. However, since the second round of advertising didn’t yield any more bids, the school board was legally able to accept the highest bid offered.
Pastor Larry Taylor doesn’t know yet how the church will use the building or property. They may tear down the building and use the land for much-needed parking.
