Community Action to buy Smith building for $1 Winneshiek County

Smith Building, Decorah

Winneshiek County plans to sell Decorah’s historic Smith building to Northeast Iowa Community Action.

During Monday morning’s Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors meeting, NEICAC Director Trisha Wilkins reported that the NEICAC Board of Directors recently approved the purchase of the Smith building – located at 305 Montgomery St. – from the county for $1. The formal deeding of the property will require a public hearing at a later date. The board generally agreed to on a tentative transfer date of Sept. 3, and will continue discussions with NEICAC regarding the expected sale.

Wilkins said that purchase is also contingent upon the corporation’s acquisition of appropriate insurance for the building, but she doesn’t foresee any issues.
