DAYTON — Efforts to save the historic downtown Arcade continue even as plans move forward to put it up for bid March 12 in a Montgomery County sheriff's tax lien foreclosure sale.
Ten properties will be included in the sale. The Arcade carries the highest property tax debt.
Phyllis Hewitt, a tax lien program manager for Montgomery County, said the minimum bid on the five-building complex is $615,106, which covers back taxes, interest and attorney's fees. The price would go up in $100 increments should buyers get into a bidding contest.
"Typically, there has not been a lot of bidding on these tax lien foreclosures," Hewitt said.
The sale begins at 10 a.m. at the Montgomery County Administration Building, 451 W. Third St.
"It's going to take one person on the line for 25,000 to 40,000 square feet to make it happen," he said.
