(KNZA)--The Horton Community Hospital, whose doors were closed earlier this year, is set to be sold Thursday.
The Horton City Commission at their December 2nd meeting voted to authorize City Administrator John Calhoon to attend the bankruptcy sale in Charlotte, North Carolina and represent the city's best interest.
Calhoon told The Horton Headlight that the city applied to the bankruptcy court some weeks ago to be listed as a consultant party in the proceedings. That would allow the city to have some input regarding the eventual buyer of the property, but a representative must be present during the bidding.
Calhoon said all six properties in Horton owned by CAH Acquistion Company will be sold as a package. That includes the hospital itself, the medical office building, a residential lot and three vacant lots.
Calhoon previously told MSC News he was hopeful that the sale would mean a return of at least some healthcare services to the south Brown County community.
The Horton hospital closed its doors March 12, following a lengthy stretch when employees did not receive paychecks.
