Harrison Street Rebuild
The building at the corner of Harrison and Van Buren streets in Sullivan had bricks falling from the outside wall resulting in the city blocking Van Buren as a safety precaution.
Zak Horn of Metro Communications responded to an appeal from Laurie Minor at Sullivan Chamber and Economic Development and bought the building from Pam Swinford. Horn explained that, thanks to contractor Jim Standerfer, wall demolition is underway and repairs will begin in July once the entire west wall is removed. A new roof and partial new HVAC will be installed for the building.
It is anticipated that the Moultrie County Counseling Center will occupy the east end, Sullivan Physical Therapy will remain in the center space and Kiki’s Boutique will return to the south end of the west side of the building once completed. The north space on the west side of the building will be available for rent by fall.
