Leading up to a recent decision to build a futureSanta Rosa County judicial center in downtown Milton, Property Appraiser Greg Brown presented a case to commissioners for a different site on U.S. 90 — one he says is an opportunity to reduce the burden on taxpayers.
Brown sent a letter Feb. 3 to all five County Commissioners alerting them to a price reduction on the former Food World location on U.S. 90 near Avalon Boulevard, which has been on the market since 2011. Initially listed at $2.9 million, the price was dropped to about $2.5 million and recently reduced again to $1.5 million.
