(KMJ) – The Fresno County Board of Supervisors set the price for its old juvenile hall.
Tuesday, Supervisors placed a minimum bid of $4.386 million for the nearly 12.6 acres of land near Ventura Avenue and Tenth Street. That juvenile hall was closed in 2006.
The minimum bid for the old juvenile hall site was proposed as $2.193 million for bare land. County staff believes the 1970s-era buildings would have no use for a new buyer and would be demolished.
The land was bought by the county for $7,000 in 1897.
But, Supervisors delayed action to sell the former Elkhorn Boot Camp near Caruthers to obtain evaluations about the potential for groundwater recharge basins on the land.
