The business district in Mt. Carmel is about to lose another building. At their meeting on Monday, Wabash County Commissioners Tim Hocking and Rob Dean voted to buy the former Accurate Tech Service building at 412 Market Street for $5,000. Many years ago, the building housed Bud Brown Sporting Goods. The commissioners also approved spending approximately $28,000 with Jeff Guisewite, Incorporated to demolish the building. The acquisition and subsequent demolition of the building, which was paid for with ARPA funds, will give the county a total of four connecting lots north to the alley. Although no plans were discussed for future use of the lots, it’s been no secret that the current courthouse is maxed out in terms of space. Commissioner Scott West was absent from Monday’s meeting.
