Council to buy Klahr building
“Middletown Borough Council has agreed to purchase the historic Klahr Building on South Union Street with $12,000 from the borough’s capital improvement fund.
The historic jewelry building has become an eyesore in downtown Middletown, and council voted to acquire it by eminent domain last October. However, those plans were altered when the property’s owner, Londonderry Twp. supervisor Andy Doherty, filed for bankruptcy, ultimately leading to the $12,000 agreement, according to Chris Courogen, borough secretary and director of communications.”
