Town Seeking Partner on House Relocation

The new Law Enforcement Center project has created a great historic preservation opportunity for an enterprising preservationist. The Town owns a historic former residence, “The Blinson House” at 317 E Second Street, adjacent to the existing Police Station. The home was acquired by the Town in preparation for expanding the Law Enforcement Center, planned for July of 2010. Because the home is considered a contributing structure in the Clayton Historic District the Town is seeking a partner to acquire and relocate the house rather than have it demolished.

A detailed Request For Proposals (RFP) has been developed to solicit interested persons to propose a relocation plan with investment in the home being the basis of the sale. The best plan, as defined in the RFP, will receive the structure under the terms of an agreement that will stipulate a schedule, minimum investment in the rehabilitation, and future use. The RFP is available for review and download below.
