PHOTO: Payson has dropped immediate plans to sell the Main Street fire station, according to town officials.
On Sept. 30, the town announced it concluded “the bid process and negotiations related to the possible sale of Fire Station 11 without reaching a successful agreement.”
The release came out after the Roundup’s Oct. 1 paper went to press reporting the bidding process was underway. Negotiations involved an ATV sales business and a brewery, according to a council member who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity.
A recent press release from the town said staff would present a study on the Main Street station at the Oct. 28 council meeting.
“Members of the public are welcome to attend (remotely) and hear more about its fire department,” according to the release. Payson is restricting council meeting attendance because of the pandemic.
