County to Sell Family Medical Clinic Building

The Family Medical Clinic Building, which has sat unoccupied on the corner of Oak and Broadway streets since 2022, will be sold to the highest bidder willing to remove it from county property, the Broadwater County Commission resolved Sept. 9.

Commissioners adopted a resolution declaring the building surplus property and authorizing its disposal. Commission Chairman Darrel Folkvord said the move came after having the building appraised.

According to the resolution, the modular home’s value is estimated at less than $2,500 and needs major repairs, including repairs to the roof and installation of a new HVAC system.

The county purchased the building in 2017. It has been in its current location for more than 25 years.

“This is our last option,” Folkvord said of the decision to have the building sold and removed. After an initial attempt to sell the building, Folkvord said the county contacted an engineering firm to estimate the cost of refurbishing it. “We decided it was not worth putting that type of money into that building.”

The successful bidder must be willing to remove the building from the property. Public notice of the bidding window will be posted in MT43 News.
