Building for sale

MERCER, Pa. — Mercer County commissioners are advertising District Justice Larry Silvis’ old building for sale. They said Wednesday that an ad has been placed in an area publication for sale of the old office on Grove City-Sandy Lake Road near Jackson Center. The brick-and-block building was built in the mid-1970s and is about 1,800 square feet.

A new building for Silvis’ court opened in the summer on Pa. Route 208, north of Grove City. Officials had said the old building was too small and had security problems and a leaky roof.

Bids are due at the courthouse by Oct. 30. For more information, call the commissioners’ office at (724) 662-3800.
