County sets minimum $8M price and bid window to sell former Irene Byron Hospital site

The Board of Commissioners approved a resolution Sept. 11 authorizing sale and disposal of the former Irene Byron Hospital site at Lima and Carroll roads. Chief of Staff Chris Cloud told the board the buildings have been demolished and the 62.709-acre site is “now build ready.” The resolution set a minimum sale price of $8,000,000 and a 60-day bid window from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 2026; Commissioner Ronald W. Turpin asked that any increased bids be submitted in increments of at least $50,000 and the board approved the resolution 3-0.

The resolution includes a draft purchase agreement and instructs staff to open a public bid period beginning Oct. 1. Interested parties should consult county sale documents for details and any property conditions.
