(KAIR)--Negotiations have formally begun regarding the proposed sale of the Atchison Senior Village.
The long-term care facility is owned by Atchison County, and the possibility of making the sale has been in the exploratory phase for some time.
Approaching the sale included recent meetings with representatives of Recover-Care, the firm which the County has now entered negotiations.
The exclusive negotiations were approved during the October 24 meeting of the County Commission.
At that same time, the Commissioners approved an engagement agreement with Dysart Taylor Cotter McMonigle & Montemore, P.C.
The Kansas City-based law firm will assist with the negotiations.
According to Recover-Care's website, the firm operates eight centers, including two in the local area, which are located in Highland and Wathena.
The County has owned Atchison Senior Village since 1961.
