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.
