Iola Industries asked Allen County commissioners Tuesday morning to give it a two-year option on a portion of the old Allen County Hospital grounds for construction of apartments adjacent to where G&W Foods will build its grocery.
The county would receive a non-refundable payment of $10,000 up front and another $10,000 when the option was exercised.
Immediate response was favorable from two commissioners, Jerry Daniels and Tom Williams. The third, Jim Talkington, was reluctant to make a commitment, saying he had concerns and wasn’t “100 percent on board.”
