The Louisburg Town Council agreed to buy two pieces of property Monday night with the idea for a county government office complex development.
The Council agreed to pay Ford Enterprises $305,000 for the old Ford Agency property that sits across from Town Hall. The property and building’s tax value is $110,244 according to the Franklin County Tax Office. The town accepted a real property agreement with Ford Enterprises and Mike Leonard and Assigns, who expect to develop the property for county offices. The town could recoup that money from any deal that Leonard would make with Franklin County to develop the property.
