Why sell in Center?

On Dec. 9 the Center Township Board of Supervisors will decide whether or not to sell the old township office on Sunset Drive.

Although I understand the yearning to make a quick buck on the sale, this property truly costs the taxpayers nothing per year to keep.

Lease out the property and earn some income for the taxpayers. For once the supervisors have an opportunity to earn income instead of raising our property taxes. That property has the potential to bring in up to $2,500 per month. That’s $30,000 per year.

The building has recent upgrades including a new roof and HVAC. It has the potential to be an income property for the next 30 years plus.

I know multiple board members own properties and they rent those out. Why are they trying to sell ours?
