Allegany County approves purchase of Wellsville property
The Allegany County Board of Legislators has formally approved the purchase of the Employee Assistance building at 55 Chamberlain Street in Wellsville. The property sold for $270,000. The county will move its Community Services program, now located on North Broad Street, to the newly acquired property. The vote was 13-1 with one absent. The dissenting voted said the move would ruin the Chamberlain neighborhood.
The property is assessed at $241,000 and consists of 1.87 acres of land.
Wellsville/Andover lawmakers Steve
Havey, James Rumfelt and Gary Barnes all voted to support to purchase.
