County Researching Information On Buildings

Roosevelt County commissioners reported that county officials are still researching the possibility of acquiring the two abandoned buildings located on First Avenue South in Wolf Point.

During a weekly meeting on Tuesday, April 8, commissioners said that county treasurer Betty Romo was looking at getting title information cleared up.

Commissioner Gordon Oelkers said that banks might be involved and that could require negotiations.

“It might take a little time,” Oelkers said of the process.

During a meeting in March, Tori Matejovsky, executive director for the Great Northern Development Corp., and Wolf Point Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture president Nicole Miller spoke to commissioners about possible steps to improve the community’s appearance.

Matejovsky mentioned the plight and number of abandoned properties in Wolf Point. She noted that aspect of Wolf Point impacts businesses and future development.
