The SYSCO property in Hamlet is still up for sale.
Starke County Economic Development Foundation Director Charlie Weaver told the Starke County Council members last week there are some issues with the broker and he’s written a letter to the business to address needs on the property that should be done. Weaver told the county council last week that he’s shown the property a few times and he’s willing to show it in order to bring tax dollars into the county and put people to work. The broker has not shown the property to Weaver’s knowledge, but he calls on progress every week.
Weaver reminded the council that the Stelrema building north of Knox has been sold. Weaver said that the building was under a lease, but now the property has been sold to the owners of Gary Poppins.
