Butler Township is considering the purchase of 18 acres of land in the Pullman Business Park to use for recreational purposes.
Township Commissioners decided to enter into an exclusive sales agreement with the Community Development Corporation of Butler County until May 31st. This will allow the township to investigate the title and remediation efforts that have taken place at the property along Hollywood Drive and Armco Drive.
The cost of this purchase would be $20,000 per acre or $360,000 total. The township has not finalized plans on exactly how the property would be used but most is likely to be outdoor recreational space such as a soccer field. An indoor space with a tenant is possible but those plans have not been finalized.
Negotiations about this property have been going on for about nine months but could take some time longer to finalize due to the CDC of Butler County needing state approval before they are able to sell.
