ODOT TO AUCTION PRIME COMMERCIAL PROPERTY NEAR INTERSTATE 75 IN LIMA

Commercial lot to be sold at public auction on Aug. 22

LIMA, Ohio (July 30, 2018) – The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 will sell a property with the opportunity for commercial growth near Interstate 75 in Lima in an upcoming public auction.

The auction will be held Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. at the ODOT District 1 headquarters, Room 39. The district office is located at 1885 N. McCullough Street in Lima, near the Dana and Ford manufacturing plants.

The 2.598-acre vacant parcel is located at the intersection of state Route 117 (Bellefontaine Avenue) and Greely Chapel Road on the east side of Lima, just one-fourth of a mile from I-75. The lot is zoned for general business use, and all utilities are available at the lot.

The property is an excess parcel and is not needed for future highway right of way purposes. The property is being offered at public auction because of the opportunity it provides for development.

“This is a high-visibility, shovel-ready site in the heart of a commercial destination,” said Shell Miller, real estate administrator at ODOT District 1. “It’s a prime location, surrounded by all the big names that draw traffic from state Route 117, state route 309 and Interstate 75.”
