MoDOT to sell former maintenance facilities

The Missouri Department of Transportation's Southeast District is preparing to market its former maintenance facilities in Portageville, Mo., and Wasola, Mo.

On March 7 and 8, MoDOT will sell the real estate by hosting live auctions. According to right-of-way manager Sherry Glastetter, the facilities are no longer needed to build, improve or maintain the state's highway system.

There are several structures on the property, including a shop building/garage and two sheds. The parcel is surrounded by agricultural land and has no zoning restrictions. A live auction will be on-site at 2:30 p.m. March 7.

The Wasola property is a 3.01-acre parcel on Highway 95 in Ozark County, Mo. Structures on the land include a shop building/garage, cold storage building, salt storage building, concrete fuel containment basin and an asphalt tank with saddles. A live auction will be on-site at 9:30 a.m. March 8.
