Efforts continue to try to bring the SYSCO property back under local control.
Ron Gifford with the Starke County Economic Development Foundation told the Hamlet Town Council Wednesday that the group has been able to make contact with a company representative. “We actually found an attorney that actually represents SYSCO,” Gifford explained.” It’s not a SYSCO attorney. It’s an outside attorney who indicated that SYSCO is willing to sell. But we’re still working with them to find out what the price is and see what we can do to get that back in our hands.”
Starke County officials have expressed interest in acquiring the property near Hamlet for potential development opportunities, after SYSCO failed to develop or market it. Some county officials have been calling for SYSCO to donate the land to the county.
