4/18/13 - The old Putnam Annex building, which housed the Faith Medical Clinic until it burned down in February, will be put up for sale while Putnam Township officials decide what to do with the insurance money. The township will receive $70,903 in compensation for the loss of the building, which will be increased to $93,124 if they decide to rebuild the structure or build a new one elsewhere. Last night, the township board approved beginning the process to sell the Annex building for $60,000 or best offer. The building will be advertised through June 5th, then offers received will be brought to the board at its meeting that month. The board also approved the creation of a committee consisting of Township Clerk Sally Guyon and trustees Dick McCloskey and Bob Press to analyze the issue. It will be their responsibility to come up with options for spending the insurance money, but Superintendent Ron Rau tells WHMI the municipalityâs development plans recommend using it to build an extension on the township hall for additional storage and potential office space. The committee will have to determine whether adding to the township hall using the insurance money is feasible. (TD)
