 County Council Chairman Kneece denies closing date set for Calliham property web posted March 31, 2008 EDGEFIELD – An entry in last week’s The Edgefield Advertiser’s “Around the Square” listing has raised some eyebrows and brought a flood of emails to EdgefieldDaily.com. In the column entry, J. P. Calliham was speaking of his 56 years in business and what changes in products he would be making for the spring with the writer. Then he dropped the proverbial bombshell on the sale of the property to the County. “They have done the appraisals, inspections and environmental checks, and we close on June 4,” if all goes well, the quote reads. Not so fast said County Council Chairman Monroe Kneece Friday, the matter has not been brought before the county council for discussions. Open meeting discussions must take place before any decision can be made about a closing, or if the sale would even move forward. Kneece stated that he has no idea what the full council would decide to do and that there have not been any discussions on the matter and no closing date. The only information he was aware of, he said, was that the option on the property had been extended. Mr. Kneece insisted that nothing had been discussed about the possible building and property purchase. The matter will be on the agenda at the April 1 county council meeting. If approved on a first reading, the sale could be set for a June 4 closing with second and final readings in May and June. The June County Council meeting is June 2. A required Public Hearing would be held just prior to beginning either the May or the June meeting. The purchase was brought to the public’s attention back in a January 10 column by the editor. A press conference followed within days with County Council Chairman Monroe Kneece, County Administrator John Pettigrew Jr., and the local media which can be found here. If the sale goes forward the former Senior Citizen’s Building on Church Street, destroyed by fire in July of last year, would remain barren property with no plans to rebuild. http://www.edgefielddaily.com/edgefield070607.html ©
