Legislature panel OKs sale of Davison Road parcel

LOCKPORT -- The Niagara County Legislature's Public
Works Committee voted Monday to approve the sale of 16.5
acres of land on Davison Road to Christian Academy of Western
New York for $375,000. The vote came after Public Works
Commissioner Kevin P. O'Brien and Deputy Commissioner
Robin DeVoe reported that tests on an old underground fuel
oil tank showed no contamination and that the tank could be
removed for about $6,000. Assistant County Attorney R. Thomas
Burgasser said the sale could close in August or September, if
the full Legislature approves. The deed is to be amended to give
the county easements for water and sewer lines and access to
records storage and golf course maintenance buildings.
The Lockport school will use the Switzer Building, the former
county infirmary, for its classes. The county will have to give
Mercy Flight 30 days' notice that its helicopters will no longer
be allowed to land on the site unless the new owners agree.
