A sale of the former Hardee’s restaurant property in Jamestown appears to be moving toward completion, with Mayor Regena Hinton telling WJRS NEWS a closing is planned for next week.
Several individuals were at the property Tuesday morning, removing boards that have covered the building’s windows for many years. People were also seen working inside, and a skid steer was being used on the building and grounds.
The city purchased the property at 407 North Main Street earlier this year for $150,000. The building has been vacant for nearly 25 years.
As WJRS NEWS previously reported, the city council unanimously authorized Hinton to enter into a contract with a potential buyer. Plans discussed at that time called for demolishing the building and replacing it with a convenience store and restaurant.
