The Wilkes County Commissioners met this week to consider several items including the purchase of an office building on Executive Drive. Known as the Oakwoods Property, Commissioners are interested in the location for the Wilkes Health Dept. Rachel Willard, Wilkes Health Director, and their staff have visited the property and are reportedly “excited” about the possible purchase. The building has seven leases that would transfer with the purchase, and office furniture in the unused portion of the building would be included in the sale. The purchase price is 2.2 million dollars, which is the tax valued of the property. Commissioners unanimously agreed this week to sign an agreement for purchase.
