Borough looking to sell off properties acquired in fight against blight

SHENANDOAH – Over the past several years, as Shenandoah has fought blight, the borough has acquired properties in the process and they are now seeking to offload those lots.

Borough Council is offering 52 parcels around town for bid. The properties are located all over town, including some parcels downtown.

The minimum bid for each lot is $1,000 or assessed value as determined by the county for some properties.

Bids should be submitted to borough hall in a sealed envelope with a check or money order for 10% of the bid amount. Include your name, address, and a valid phone number.

Deadline for bids is at 3pm Monday, Oct. 7.

Due diligence is recommended and prospective buyers “must be in good standing as determined by the borough.”
