Girard seeks revenue from city-owned property on U.S. Route 422

GIRARD — City officials are hoping to generate additional revenue and spark business with a small strip of city-owned property along U.S. Route 422.

City council, earlier this week, passed an ordinance authorizing the safety-service director to conduct a property survey and appraisal of city property in front of the current justice center where a Clark Gas Station once stood near the corner of Route 422 and Kline Street.

The city bought the property for about $80,000 in 2000 after it was no longer being used as a gas station.
