Commissioners approve sale of 23 Road property for $550K

On Aug. 25, the Board of Mesa County Commissioners approved the sale of county-owned property at 905 23 Road in Grand Junction for $549,900. That amount was the highest of two bids the county got on the 2.7 acre piece of land that has a large storage garage on it.

The property supported Road and Bridge District A operations by providing space for equipment, staff and materials. Road and Bridge now uses a larger county site for those needs. 

Selling property that is no longer needed allows Mesa County to receive revenue from the asset rather than continue owning, maintaining and managing a separate site.

The Board’s approval allows the sale to move forward. Ownership will transfer after the remaining contract requirements and closing are completed.
