Watch this property. The house will disappear this year.
Bluffton’s school board announced the purchase of this residence on North Lawn Avenue owned by John R. Skelly, formerly of Bluffton. The purchase price was $110,000. In recent years the house served as a rental property.
According to Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent, the house will eventually be razed to expand the elementary playground.
“Our intention is to make this property a green space in the playground,” he told The Icon.
Bluffton native Jack Huber of Troy was hired as the new Bluffton village administrator earlier this month during a special council meeting.
Huber's first day on the job is Thursday. A public reception for Huber is from 1 to 3 p.m., Friday, in the town hall.
His salary will be $60,000 annually during a six-month probationary period. Following the probationary period council can consider a recommendation from the mayor for a salary increase up to an additional $5,000 per year.
